What does it mean to download a list of Newsgroups ?

General Disclaimer - Happy Online would like to remind all visitors that they are responsible for their own computer settings - some suggestions may not work on some computers and may result in errors - you should only make changes to your computer if you are comfortable with any consequences that may arise.

Downloading a list of Newsgroups basically means what it says. By downloading the list you will have access to a list of the Newsgroups that are available on the server - this may take a little while as there will be a large number of Newsgroups.

Once you have your list of Newsgroups you are able to search for topics that may interest you and subscribe to the Newsgroup so you can keep track of new messages or interesting posts.

You may be surprised by the range of Newsgroups that are provided on the list as a wide range of topics are covered.

Personally no-one at Happy Online frequently uses Newsgroups - however if you do have a particular interest then subscibing to a Newsgroup may be a good way of finding out latest information or sharing your topic of interest with others with like minds.
