Ok this is my first time using news gruops, i got my server and stuff from my isp, and i entered in all the details in newsbin pro, but whenever i click on one of the servers eg alt.binaries.emulation.neogeo it says downloading 300+ msgs, but by the time its finished only about 4 shows up, and its like that for alot of them, such as alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation, only about 10 show up for that and it says download over a 1000+msgs, can anyone tell me why thats happening?, and whats the best newsgroup program to use??.

I'm a big fan of newsgroups. All the newest "stuff" is there. You don't have to share, and the speeds are excellent. Here is an awesome guide that tells you almost everything you need to know. http://www.slyck.com/ng.php

I would recommend using agent instead of newsbin, at first. It's a little more user friendly. You might have your settings in newsbin pro set to filter out small messages. Good luck.
