I do know in the old days that newsgroups were popular ways for people to exchange messages. We have these kinds of bulletin boards now, but you used to have a seperate program and you would download news messages from your ISP and they had all kinds of different topics you could exchange messages with. I think a lot of it now is pictures, video and music.<br><br>Thu, 16 Feb 2006 16:33:26 GMTStitchhttp://www.broadband-help.com/forums/Topic623-9-1.aspxWhat is a newsgroup? Is it like BBC news page?

Both good if you are looking for binaries.<br><br>Wed, 08 Feb 2006 14:54:09 GMTShadow1http://www.broadband-help.com/forums/Topic623-9-1.aspxI have never really used newsgroups.

I am an old-school newsgroup junkie, but a lot of the feeds seem to be sparse from the providers. I would consider a third-party feed if the price is right and they have a good coverage of UK newsgroups.<br><br>Wed, 08 Feb 2006 06:42:52 GMTraven
