First lets talk about Usenet

Usenet is a world-wide distributed discussion system. It consists of a set of “newsgroups” with names that are classified hierarchically by subject. “Articles” or “messages” are “posted” to these newsgroups by people on computers with the appropriate software.

These articles are then broadcast to other interconnected computer systems via a wide variety of networks. Some newsgroups are “moderated”; in these newsgroups, the articles are first sent to a moderator for approval before appearing in the newsgroup. Usenet is available on a wide variety of computer systems and networks, but the bulk of modern Usenet traffic is transported over either the Internet or UUCP.

What does this mean ? What does it have to do with News Servers ?

Its safe to say that almost every News Server feeds from Usenet, and if you’ll remember from the above that Usenet is basically a bunch of interconnected computers sharing information such as Articles or messages and that these Articles or messages are categorized within newsgroups. One very popular type of newsgroup is the binaries newsgroup which primarily has files rather then Articles or messages.

It is in the binaries newsgroups that you’ll be searching for files if you are looking to download games, movies, t.v. shows, applications, etc… and in order to download any of the files in a particular newsgroup, you’ll need to register with a binary news server. 

Registering with a binary news server together with an indexing service and a news reader client, will enable you to download pretty much anything.
