Many e-mail clients support them (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc&#8230;); naturally to download and read groups you must know the addresses of news servers, some are public, other privates; here is a good list of public news servers; also Google has own online service <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Groups<\/a> (you need Google account).<\/p>\n<p>Newsgroups are used also for binary files distribution, there are specific groups (eg. alt.binaries&#8230;) where generally we can find files in attachment to discussions and split in multiple messages.<\/p>\n<p>To begin you must download a client suitable for downloading files from newsgroup, there are various free: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unzbin.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unzbin<\/a> (for Windows, lightweight and easy to use), <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/hellonzb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HelloNzb<\/a> (opensource, in Java, so multiplatform), <a href=\"http:\/\/sabnzbd.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SABnzbd<\/a> (opensource, in Python, so multiplatform).<\/p>\n<p>On programs settings you must know and set the news server address desired.<br \/>\nOnce connected you can start to download by importing <strong>nzb<\/strong> files that in practice are a &#8220;container&#8221; with all info\/parts of what you want to download.<br \/>\nBut where to find these nzb files?<br \/>\nYou can use the good and simple <a href=\"http:\/\/usenet.tenheggeler.com\/index.php?page=nzb-leecher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NZB Leecher<\/a>program that it&#8217;s an interface with Usenet search engines like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nzbindex.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nzbindex<\/a> and allows to download these files ready to be imported in the mentioned clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time:<\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>Easily download from newsgroups with specific clients<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"author_meta":{"display_name":"Simone","author_link":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/author\/admin\/"},"featured_img":null,"coauthors":[],"tax_additional":[],"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 16 years ago","modified":"Updated 16 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on September 15, 2010","modified":"Updated on September 15, 2010"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on September 15, 2010 10:27 am","modified":"Updated on September 15, 2010 10:27 am"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digitalking.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
