>Usenet 101
>Since there are many tutorials at this site, I can imagine that you don't know
>where to begin, so here is an introduction.
>This howto is the best starting point if you want to learn how to download from
>binary Usenet newsgroups.
>What are binary Usenet newsgroups?
>This website is all about binary Usenet newsgroups, but what exactly are they?
>Usenet newsgroups have existed for quite a while and were originally meant as a
>place for discussions using text messages. The name of the Usenet newsgroup
>shows the subject discussed in that specific group. However, Usenet newsgroups
>can also be used for posting binaries (a general term for encoded data, like
>programs or music), which has become much more popular with the introduction of
>broadband connections to the Internet. You can recognize a binary Usenet
>newsgroup by the word binaries in the name of the group, for example
>alt.binaries.freeware.
>So what can be learnt at this website? Here at Binaries4all you will find all
>information that you need to be able to work with binary Usenet newsgroups.
>Are binary Usenet newsgroups kind of like Kazaa?
>Many people think binary Usenet newsgroups are rather like Kazaa (or other P2P
>programs), but this is not true! There are fundamental differences between the
>two, even though they can both be used for downloading. You can easily search
>for something on Kazaa, but what is on offer depends on the people who are
>connected to Kazaa at that very moment. Usenet newsgroups work differently:
>someone posts something to a binary newsserver, then all the newsservers
>exchange data and someone else can download it using his or her news server.
>How long the files are available on a newsserver depends on the quality of the
>newsserver. Some ISP's think of it as an extra and don't pay it very much
>attention at all. On most ISP's you can download a post for about three days,
>in other words a retention of three days. Sometimes the files provided on a
>news server are incomplete, and this also depends on the quality of the news
>server. There are also payservers, however, on which posted files are available
>for more than two weeks.
>Advantages of binary Usenet newsgroups over Kazaa:
> Higher speed; you can use the full speed of your Internet connection.
> More files available.
> Not dependent on other users for downloading.
> Less rubbish; Kazaa is swamped with fake files and viruses.
>Disadvantages of binary Usenet newsgroups over Kazaa:
> You have to respond more quickly, because the files aren't permanently on a
> server. However, that isn't that much of an issue anymore nowadays, because
> many payservers offer a retention of several hundreds of days.
>Where to begin?
>The basics of working with binary Usenet newsgroups are explained in the
>following chapters, divided in two topics: downloading and posting.
>Important: take your time! Do not expect that you have downloaded what you are
>looking for between now and one hour. Learning how to work with binary Usenet
>newsgroups completely just requires some time! This is NOT because it is so
>difficult (don't let us scare you), but just because the process consists of a
>couple of steps. Again: do not try to comprehend everything in thirty minutes,
>take your time!
