I'm thinking of getting back in to the old usenet/newsgroup area but so much as changed since I was last around those parts.
I remember using a bootlegged version of Agent that I had to use a tunnel software so I could connect with multiple connections. NZB was still a new thing back then too.
So what are peoples recommended servers and clients?

Might have to be careful on what gets posted.....

I just use Thunderbird - but then I only follow text only groups.

Used to use Agent, just use Thunderbird now.

Oh I didnt realise thunderbird could read newsgroups.
I like the older British comedies and radio shows from the 1940's onwards.
Last time I was on a usenet group I was downloading a 70MB file that took all day on freeservce dialup. Good job I could set my computer downloading while I went out lol

I use the Gnus (Emacs) client with the Eternal September and Gmane servers. I also only follow text groups.
