I downloaded the Agent and installed it (thanks) but it asked for details of mynewsgroup and email. Apart from the fact that I don't know them I was a bit worried about putting these details in for security reasons.

Is this the only way to acces these binaries?

PaulR,
Newsgroup address depends on your internet service provider. e.g.
NTL 's is news.cable.ntlworld.com

And your E-mail address will only show if you post, you can put a dummy in anyway.

I think I've screwed it up...

When I was asked or the newsgroup address during the installation I put it a fake address. Now I can't see how to change it. I uninstalled the ptogram and then reinstalled but it didn't ask for the newsgroup address and remembered the false one.

Am I doomed with this program?

What did you put in PaulR, a dummy E-mail or a dummy News server?
You should be able to change the news server under options/User and System profile.

Thanks, I found the place. My ISP is Virgin and so guessed at news.virgin.net which I tried in an open IE window first.

It didn't work so tried news.virgin.com. That didn't work either so does anyone know whar server Virgin uses for news?

Could I put in the BBC news portal news.bbc.co uk? I'll give it a go anyway.

BTW Rolf, do you leave your computer switched on during the day? I've been off ill today (earache - seriously) and you were here every time I looked.

Sometimes I leave it on, but today I've been around for most of the day. :)

Can't see anything on Virgin regarding a news server, they probably don't have their own, I use news.btinternet.com as a first option.

OK, I've left the BBC news portal in, now what? How do I read the newsgroups?

I never thought it would be this difficult!

Can't remember too much about it, but if you go into the online heading and get groups, that should populate the page.

1. click on OPTIONS
2. click USER and SYSTEM PROFILES
3. enter your user name and password if required by the news server.
example user 6283047 password 6852529
nothing else needs to be entered , no email or anything.
4. click system put the URL of the news server in.
example news.100proofnews.com
5. click ok
6.click ONLINE
7. click REFRESH GROUPS
if all is ok you will soon see the groups list, just click on whatever turns you on and sample maybe 5000 or GET ALL
at that point you will see the articles in RED in the right hand box, click them to download them. if there is files or pictures in the article,just right click it in the big bottom box to view/hear or save.

If you have access to a news server,this should get you started, just remember DONT click on a bunch of buttons that you are not familiar with to start with as this is a full featured high powered news reader and will satisfy any power hungry news freak! (like me) he heh the news server I used in the example is a real one I used to use long ago and It was working the other day but they will get wise to it and cancel that user. You can find some free news servers if you look around or you can buy access to others if you need a big "uncensored mature content" server or whatever. If I run across any good free ones I will post the URL for it. whew !

ok. i did what kalamar said in the above thread. i get the groups in the lefh hand box, so i select one and the get 40 sample headers which then makes a load of red text appear in the right hand box.

if i select one of these i just get text in the lower half of the screen.

it then either says something like this.......

[3 lines, incomplete]

[This is a multi-part message, of which only 1 of 16 parts are available.]
[These parts are unavailable: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]

[To retrieve the incomplete message, use menu option Message | Join Sections.]

..... in which case i do `message` then `join sections`. i then get a download of about 20 seconds then a pile of gobbldygook appears.

or i just get `press enter to retrieve this message` followed by what looks like an email type message

i see no mp3`s :eek: :confused
