For this tutorial we are going to download a post from, so let’s add this group.

Now it’s our task to pick some interesting groups. These groups all begin with alt.binaries.* In this tab we see a long list of groups, but only a couple of them are of interest to us. (Note that ‘Default server’ changes when selecting a different server). Once that’s done, we open the All groups on Default server tab. If we look at our Batch tab, we can actually see GrabIt downloading our grouplist. (remember that these buttons execute the most common actions). We can either right click on Default server and select Refresh grouplist or we can select our default server and click the big Refresh grouplist button. In the following parts of the tutorial I will discuss only the default server.įirst, we have to collect the grouplist from our newsserver. Below you can see the result of our previous actions.Īs we can see, there are two servers we can use: my ISP’s server (default) and a payserver. Adding Usenet newsgroupsĪs we now have our servers set up, we can take a look at adding Usenet newsgroups to our group list. However, we will describe it anyway as this is still possible and it might be useful should you be unable to acquire an NZB file. Downloading files using headers is an outdated method since nowadays NZB files are more popular.
