Newsbin Pro is a powerful Usenet newsreader in development since 1995. It automatically combines multi-part binary posts and offers many options for organizing your downloads.
In this tutorial we walk through downloading, installing, and configuring Newsbin Pro to work with our secure Usenet servers.
Visit the official Newsbin Pro website (newsbin.com) to download the setup file. Once downloaded, launch the setup process to continue.
Read through the license agreement. If you agree with the terms, select "I Agree".
Choose your installation options. If you're familiar with previous versions of Newsbin Pro and prefer the older layouts, you can set that here, along with other familiar options.
Change your installation folder if needed. The default folder is Program Files\Newsbin.
Set your data folder. All downloaded post headers and other data files are stored here. If you're installing on an SSD but have a larger drive available, you may want to use the larger drive. Click "Next" when ready.
Set up your Usenet server. Enter a name to reference the service. In this tutorial we use "Fast Usenet".
Enter news.fastusenet.org in the server address field, and tick the "Use SSL" box to use secure NNTP connections.
Enter your Fast Usenet username and password.
Set how many days of headers to grab when downloading (we leave the default of 30), and set the number of connections. Fast Usenet supports 50 connections, but 45 is usually best.
Setup is finished. Tick "Launch Newsbin Now" and select Finish, and Newsbin Pro will open.
When Newsbin Pro opens you'll see the "Groups List" window. Right-click anywhere in the window and select "Add Group".
In the "Add Groups" window, enter a search keyword to locate the newsgroup you want. Select it and choose OK.
The newsgroup now appears in the "Groups List". Double-click it to download that group's articles. A new window opens and Newsbin Pro begins downloading the latest articles.
Locate the NZB file on your computer, select it, and click "Open". Newsbin Pro loads the NZB into the download queue and begins downloading the articles from Usenet.
