Tragedies said:Can someone please explain to me how Newsgroups works?
Do I pay a certain amount monthly and get fast download speeds for games and such?
And OzModChips is a great site.
Ok, the deal with newsgroups goes a little like this:
1. You sign up with a binary usenet provider like Supernews or Giganews, usually for about $10-15 a month depending on how much data you want to download
2. Set it up in a binary newsreader (Newsleecher is good under Windows)
3. Find what you want to download with a binary search site, Google knows of plenty
4. Load the NZB in your newsreader and let it run
5. Profit!!
You can also find files without using a NZB reader, but it's a little more difficult.
Edit: also no problems with ozmodchips here.. my D2CKey is still running like a charm
