You will need a News Reader like Grabit (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/newsgroups/t-newsgroups-guide-grabit-69159) or Newsleecher (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/newsgroups/t-newsgroups-guide-newsleecher-122289), as well as access to usenet:

Newshosting (http://www.newshosting.com/?a=51500)
Giganews (http://www.giganews.com/?a=fst)

News Rover should be fine, however it's features are rather simplistic when compared to newsleecher or grabit. Or at least the version I tested of it was.

Either will be ok though.

I got your PM Tony and replied to it. If you still have any more questions just ask in this thread, I'll keep an eye out. :)

edit: I merged the two threads, no need for two. :)

1. Download Grabit (http://www.shemes.com/index.php?p=download)

2. Setup for Usenet. Usually you can get free limited acces to your own ISP's news server. Usually news.[insertISPhere].net or .com.

3. Double click NZB file, Grabit should open it.

4. Wait for it to finish Downloading

5. Get a program like WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm) or WinZip (http://www.winzip.com/downwzeval.htm) and extract the r01, r02, etc... files.

6. Right click on r01 and 'extract here'.

7. If file is incomplete use a program like QuickPar (http://www.quickpar.org.uk/Download.htm) to 'repair' it. Install QuickPar (http://www.quickpar.org.uk/Download.htm), double click the PAR2 file. Repair. Then try extracting again.

8. If none of this makes since, I tried. :whistling

The user appears to have the flag of St George therefore they will be very lucky to have a proper binary ISP server. Many UK ISP's do offer text only groups. I am afraid it is highly likelly they will have to pay for a premium NSP.

I've been using Newsrover for years; although some think it's 'simple', in fact the programability of it is supurb. I spent a fair amount of time when I first got it, programming up a lot of the 'special features' that now I take for granted; every once in a while I'll look at something 'newer', but they simply don't hold a candle to how I've got rover set up. Perhaps something else out there has the same flexibility, but it would be like re-inventing the wheel for me.
