You can see a full list here. There are many newsreaders to choose from; some specialize in keeping up with the text discussion groups while other newsreaders specialize in archiving and displaying picture files.
Some newsreaders will not only download files from Usenet but repair and combine binary files for you once they are downloaded. Other higher end newsreaders offer a Usenet Indexing-Usenet search feature on their list of options. This makes using Usenet much easier. Search features on certain Newsreaders allow you to filter a search by subject, size of file, age of file-retention, type of newsgroup and even by who posted the article to the newsgroup.
If you need help selecting a Newsreader that is right for you, NewsgroupReviews has created a section with 7 easy steps on how to choose a Newsreader. One thing you want to consider when selecting a Newsreader is if the software supports NZB files. Once you have selected a Usenet Provider, you will need to configure your newsreader. Luckily, NGR has created a step by step guide to install and configure many of the popular newsreaders.
The tutorial requests that you select the newsreader then it takes you to the configuration guide for the vendor that you selected.
This will help you set up any newsreader in a flash and get you started on downloading from the Newsgroups much faster. Browse Newsgroups — Search Usenet — Search for Content : Once you have a Newsreader, you can start browsing the newsgroups for topics you are interested in discussing or just searching for content.
There are a few ways to search:. To see what Newsreader supports NZB files, check out our newsreader list. A NZB file will point the user to the exact location of the articles and files on Usenet. Many of these sites index Usenet and allow you to search by subject-keyword. This prevents the user by going into the Newsgroup and downloading and going through all the headers information about the article or file.
Sorting through the headers can be very time consuming if the group has very long retention and has lots of articles in it. So, even though something got uploaded to Usenet with a gibberish name, the indexer will de-obfuscate it and you will be able to find and download the file as easy as if it had never been obfuscated in the first place. An indexer takes a lot of time and effort to operate, so most of the best ones are private and charge a membership fee.
Some may even require an invitation before you can join. But the fees are reasonable and well worth it. Limited free access is often available so you can try before you commit. Find the one that best fits your needs and sign up! You can quickly compare all NZB indexers at a glance here. You can even use a free tool like NZBHydra to use multiple indexers and combine their results. If you want to take things even further, you can automate the entire process by linking your indexer to software like Sonarr or Radarr.
Doing so will automatically download files including obfuscated ones the moment they become available on Usenet and before they can be taken down.
Groups are sorted by subject, author, date and other relevant identifying information. Learn about NZB files. All important releases on Usenet come with NZB packages. Consider using a separate service to catalog the NZB files. There are free and paid options. This will download the NZB file to your computer. Method 2. Choose a Usenet newsgroup service provider. For example Giganews, nzb. Download the file to your computer. Search the file you want to download and click it; it will download onto your computer.
Download the file into your newsreader. Locate the downloaded file, click it, and it will begin downloading into your newsreader. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. These files are broken up into pieces and shared as text blocks in thousands of sequential Usenet messages. You can find virtually any type of file that you can imagine downloading in those groups—from tiny files to multi-gigabyte Blu-ray image files.
Although the origin of the NZB format is murky some accounts claim it was created by Newzbin, others that it was first created by Dutch computer enthusiasts and lifted by Newzbin , the practical application of NZB files is perfectly clear.
Back in the olden days of binary sharing on Usenet you had to, by hand, find all the pieces of a shared file and reassemble them yourself using a variety of programs. In the early 90s, for example, doing something as simple as downloading a wallpaper pack was a multi-step and failure-prone procedure.
NZB files did away with all that tedious hands-on activity and made it simple to retrieve the entire file set with nothing more than a single NZB file.
To bring it back to the BitTorrent comparison, NZB files are much like Torrent files, except instead of pointing you to thousands of file sharers around the world, NZB files point you to the thousands of pieces of the file on a high-speed Usenet server.
When you load an NZB file in a Usenet client, you are establishing a direct one-to-one link with your Usenet provider—no extra peers, outside access to your machine, or sharing of files from your collection back to the internet. The legality of certain material on Usenet is going to vary by country, but the biggest thing you need to know is that you should never upload any copyrighted material to Usenet.
Unlike BitTorrent, Usenet is going to cost you some money. Not only that, but the speed is likely restricted, as well.

You can scroll down further in this article for an explanation of how to find NZB files. SABnzbd is, by far, one of the best Usenet clients out there. One of the most valuable things about SABnzbd is how lightweight it is.
Add your details, which for Newshosting will be:. For reference, the SSL port is usually You can use SABnzbd right out of the box by feeding it NZB files using the web interface, but there are ways to make that even easier. By default, the server listens on the loopback Although there are no limit for free users to use UsenetStorm, there are some restrictions such as the maximum NZB file size is limited to MB and download speeds up to KBps. During testing, I was able to achieve a maximum KBps per download thread.
Free users are also limited to only 1 download thread which means you cannot use a download manager to increase the download speed by splitting it to multiple download threads. Search for files in Usenet search engines. Use any of the Usenet search engines listed below to look for the files you want to download. Download the NZB file to your computer. The NZB is an XML-based file format that contains information and instructions for a newsreader client to download the files.
