Newsreaders

A good newsreader is required to navigate and explore content and communities on Usenet newsgroup servers. Newsreader software functions similar to an email client, making it very easy to browse messages and content from different newsgroups while also allowing you to bookmark or subscribe to the newsgroups of interest to you. Today's newsreaders are binary capable, meaning they will also download, decode and reassemble user generating binary files such as mp3 music, ISO CD images and digital video, saving you a lot of time and trouble. The high-speed global access nature of the Usenet makes it the perfect place to share user-generated files and content.
