Usenet questions

Post by cl25 »

Hello,

I recently subscribed to a usenet service, and I'm still getting use to navigating the newsgroups, dowloading the RAR's and PAR's, etc., etc.

I'm currently using News Rover as my newsreader, but I don't find the interface to be very intuitive. Grabit is a little better. Can anyone recommend a good newsreader program?

Also, can anyone tell me about any newsgroups that discuss 2D shooter related material???

Thanks!

alt.games.video.shooters exists (I should know ;)), though it's pretty much been dead for the last 4 years, and it was never high traffic to begin with.

Personally I use Xnews whenever I need to use to usenet.

Here's a list with some freeware ones.

Try some out to see if it suits you.
