I know this is a big subject but can somebody explain what is on them.

Is it similar to torrents:confused:

If so are they simple to set up and use as i tried once but failed miserable:o

If there is a guide somewhere sorry i cannot find it:cool:

Depends what you're looking for, Entanet provide free access to some of the text only groups and Giganews is highly rated for binaries.

Does ADLS24 have a newsgroup server or do you have to look for an outside one ?

Text groups is fine.

How do you use the Etna one ?

[greyrider]

No idea about Etna but the Entanet one is news.enta.net which is text only ;)
