In my last blog post, WA News Server. What You Need to Know, I covered the basics on NNTP, getting setup with Alt.binz and some technical info for the host-name and ports to be used.
This blog will cover a full setup guide for SABnzbd, which seems to be a bit more popular with Usenet users.
This blog post will show the ins and outs of the Web Africa NNTP (News Server) for the guys who want to connect and use the server to the best of its ability.
I personally use alt.binz as a UseNet client as I find it the easiest and most resource friendly to use out of the clients I’ve come across. If you’d like me to add another walkthrough on setting up another client, drop a comment at the bottom of the blog and I’ll get something up for you :)
OK, so to get started. Let’s go over a few of the basic features and general settings you’ll need to setup the connection to our NNTP box.
