i use outlook to view newsgroups, and there is a little button that you can click to download just like an attachment... i think any file in newsgroups are called attachments, just like in email, but dont quote me on that

Hmm I am curious as well but I know what they are most commonly used for and they are bad, either porn or pirated software and I would rather not know.

Good news is now most of the free news servers weed out all the binaries postings, so no porn for you!

There's lots of good stuff in newsgroup and not just porn or warez. I download some awesome wallpaper and some cool themes for Windows blinds.
