Newsgroups seem like a destination that should gradually disappear from the Internet, the same way the roadside cafes vanished with the development of the U.S. Interstate Highway system. The backwaters of the Internet thrive, primarily because of the active community of file swappers who still rely on posting large movies and audio files in chunks batched by WinRAR for easy reassembly. If you can’t find something using traditional searches via Google, chances are, it may exist in a newsgroup. There are some tricks to figuring out where to look for stuff and getting setup to effectively browse newsgroups is still as archaic as it was ten years ago. If you’ve never ventured beyond the browser in search of your favorite downloadables in the alt.binaries.whatever universe, take a look at how to download photos and movies from newsgroups.
