i don't have an answer to your question but here is mine. i know nothing about newsgroups but i once knew someone who was into newsgroups. mostly what he was getting were jpeg photo's. he would get like 1000 of them. sort thru them and keep what he wanted. how is this done???.........

There is a nice little proggie called Pluckit (www.pluckit.com) which lets you select newsgroups from your list, and grabs every attachment it finds. I used to have a cracked version, but they've implemented a thing in the program that checks with them to verify your serial number before it does anything. It is not too expensive though ($30). There are cracks out there, but none get past this system. But as often as you'll use it, it's worth the money.
Of course, your provider has to have access to newsgroups, so, MSN and AOL need not apply.

bilbogod or anyone else, good site for thousands of pics but if i want to use the pluckit program, will it work???? and how would i set it up?

If you have a news server on your ISP, Pluckit is the one to use. It has a very easy wizard to set up your stuff, but truth to tell, you don't need it. Just input your info in the boxes, and let it go. It's a great program, really. Be even greater if it was free like before.

I went to that site that bilbogod suggested, joined for free, and as promised, got to see thousands of teensy little pictures. It only lets you look at 10 or so full screen, before you run out of "bandwidth" and are prompted to upgrade to the better service, for a fee. Screw them. You can't even get mpgs there.
I hate sites that are "free," but only for limited access. Either charge up front, or not at all.

Well, when you sign up under 20 different user names you stop caring about limited bandwidth...But then again I don't do this because I'm not too obsessed about looking at totally free porn *cough* *cough*
