Thrax Panda said:The NNTP ignorance here is stunning. Back in the old days before the web existed all we had was NNTP. Here are the very few tools you need to take advantage of news groups:
PowerGrab (and PowerPost if you want to post tons). Free. Found at http://www.cosmicwolf.com/
XNews from Luu Tran. Free. Found at http://xnews.newsguy.com/
WinRAR is a requirement, and these days you really can't get buy without Fluid Studios Software RAID Toolkit. Free at http://www.fluidstudios.com.
Just don't do anything illegal. And stuff.
You forgot Smartpar (par)
and Quickpar (par2)
