 | Hi,
I hope that somebody can help me ... I'm really new to newsgroups..
I heard from somebody that he gets al of his movies out of newsgroups and
binaries and via FTP from FTP servers.
I set up my outllok express to get the newsgroups but when I open a
newsgroup and look at a post I just get a bunch of unreadable rubbish
instead of downloadable programs or iso (like the newsgroups tells in hte
name) files or movies.
Is this something that needs to be converted or how does this work ?
Can anybody help me to get movies (ftp, newsgroups, ...) and iso files of
complete cd's and things like that ?
Many thanks,
grtz,
Kurt

Outlook Express is not a particularly good newsreader for downloading
binaries. A newsreader designed to download binaries can automatically
download all the available parts, recombine them into a single file, and
decode it back to original format, and that's just not as easily done
with OE.
I don't download binaries, so I can't give you any direct help. I've
seen this FAQ recommended by those who do, so check it out:
