Default Can someone give me some pointers in usenet?

Decided I would give newsgroups a go as i have some spare time over the weekend.

I have NewsBin Pro software

I have an account with Astra

I have searched through binsearch.info

but how the hell do I get it all working together?

I selected a NZB file from binsearch saved it and then opened it from with in newspro but it only seemed to download a small file, I opened this file and it had a .exe in it and a few other files? I am lost!

Have a google for merlins portal, once you've setup your server it's the same as using a torrent only you use nzb files instead, and please use ssl, im sure astra supports 18 connections on their ssl.

I take it you're using the $11.99 pm deal they have?
