    That appears to be your client. What server are you using?

    Giganews, etc.......

    By the way, I recommend GrabIt as a client.

    Is nzbmatrix a Server? If so then is binsearch also regarded as a server?

    Yes it is my ISP in Australia.

    It provides a free Usenet service - 40 day retention. Apparently it feeds off SuperNews in the US

    That's pretty damn good binary retention for an ISP. I think mine (and most) offer like 4 days.

    That's probably why your getting a lot of error though. ISP news server are notorious for it, I think.

    If your looking for a good host, I'd suggest Giganews.

    OK here is where I am really confused.

    I have downloaded GrabIt and have performed a search on "allgroups" I put in the phrase 70's and up came the following list:

    alt.binaries.sounds.1970's.mp3 The article count is 36613

    My problem now if how do I actually access all of these articles. If I doubleclick on the above it does not do anything. If I right click it asks me to subscribe. Now what do I do.

    PLease help. Also why does GrabIt look more like a server rather than a client?

    i hate grabit it has problems with the larger groups.

    I would try ike's newsleecher guide. it does a good job of explaining things.

    also 40 days retention for an isp is pretty good.
