Question From A NOob

I am new to this whole newsgroup thing. I am trying it out instead of bittorrent. The seeding was killing my computer, always seeding. With DSL download is so much faster than upload. Anyways,

With all the different Newsreaders, which one do you guys recomend. There is like 20 different ones. I am trying Newsleacher but the free trial ends soon. Thanks

I've never used bittorrent, never will. Newsgroups are my personal favorite. Newshosting is good, click the link from this forum or click here > http://www.newshosting.com/?a=51500, you'll be supporting FST. Giganews is also highly recommended, thats what I use. As for the newsreader, most people are highly satisifed with Newsbin.

To reiterate whats been said above, "Grabit is good, and it's free!"

Seriously though, grabit will do everything you need it to do for usenet, without having to mess with a whole lot of settings. Newsleecher is also a good one, but demands a little more attention to settings.
