Just wondered if anyone uses usenet with there internode isp?

I've had a look at it and its as clear as mud to me.

Anyone care to clear the waters for me?

Yep. Every day. I use it in combination with a subscription at newzbin.com. I get hassle-free downloads at full speed (8Mb/s on my connection) without having to worry about quotas or such bollocks.

Usenet's been around for a damn sight longer than other download mediums - in fact it's where it all began. And fortunately Internode have a full speed 280day retention SuperNews feed for free.

Well i can't get my head round all the settings n stuff. Its doing my nut in.

I got something called news file grabber and looked on a site recommended on whirlpool but it just seemed so so complicated i gave up.

Any user friendly guides out there you know of?
