i think i answered my question. is it a paying newsgroup? or basically,
you have to have a subscription/membership sorta dealie?

A lot of ISPs outsource usenet feeds to supernews or giganews.
If your ISP doesn't you can subscribe to either of them.

Some ISPs don't do binary newsgroups. In that case you again
can subscripe directly to (super/giga)news.

Expect to do some additional research. If you are running
Windows try googling grabit, rar, and quickpar. Linux or
Mac users will need to find the analogues to those.

And don't complain when you find out it isn't in English.

Goed geluk,
