Hi
i have a NTLworld cable broadband connection.
I want to try using Usenet (for downloads, news groups etc...).
I have found a free program called "Grabit", but need access to a "Newsgroup server" ("NNTP" or something like that).
Does NTLworld provide one of those and if it does, does anyone know how I would set it up please?
Many thanks

Re: NTLworld and Usenet
You really only get about 3 days retention on Virgin. Which means you can easily miss something. Also they do not store all the groups and even then you have many incompletes. In my opinion, you have to pay for an external usenet provider. I can recommend Astraweb at about £8 a month for unlimited downloads.
