I would like to suggest that you check out the news reader "Grab It" it is freeware and quite good for a BIN type news reader.

Just my 2 cents, so just consider it as an option

Thanks you guys 4 your help, im gonna try your advice on configuring. Do many of you dl from newsgroups then?? how reliable r they?? and how fast??

I download from newsgroups all the time, and they are quite reliable as long as the files you are downloading come with PAR or PAR2 files. This is basically RAID for individual file sets. Basically they allow you to recover any missing file out of the set. Head on over to http://www.quickpar.org.uk/ for the program in order to do this and check out the tutorials.
As for the speed, they are generally quite fast since most of the time you'll be downloading from your ISP's news server.
