How do I request?

I've only just started getting into Newgroups, so I'm sorry if this is an obvious question. How do I go about requesting for something to be posted on a Newsgroup? My provider only has a 7 day retention, so I only have a week to download things that are online. I've been looking for all the seasons of battlestar gallactica in HD, but they haven't been hosted recently. Can anyone tell me how I'd go about requesting this show?

I believe you would post a topic such as [REQ] Name of Show Here in teh appropriate newsgroup...
