Bad tools make extra work. Good tools make extra leisure.
Usenet is supposed to be fun, so get the best tools for it and stop missing out on what your present software can't handle.
Don't download any executables (.exe, .com, .dll, .bat, zip, .avi). First of all, they don't belong here, so assume the poster is either ignorant or a wise guy. You don't want to entrust your computer to either type!
The safest places to download programs from are the author's web site, or major archive sites. The LEAST desirable are Usenet newsgroups.
Crossposting is when you you post to more than one group at the same time. This is what spammers do and this is also what the spammers are looking for. So if you don't want to attract spammers to your group don't crosspost any messages

Large binaries need to be split up into multiple, linked parts for posting. The fractions indicate the part number. For instance 5/32 is part 5 of a 32-part file. You need all 32 parts available on your server to successfully download the file.
First Quiz added is a Model Quiz. Try to recognize as many models you can. Will add more Qizzes later. This first one is quite small.

When answering to a message you should put your answer AFTER (in the bottom) all the previus messages!
If you don't the order of the messages-replies will get mixed up. Reading an answer at the top wich is a reply to what says in the in the bottom (or the middle) gets very confusing.
We do! Why would anyone deliberately post incomplete? Once in a while you'll see an aborted post, where the upload timed out and the originator didn't know how to resume it or cancel the unusable parts, but that's the exception.
Limiting yourself to about 100-300Mb a day. This gives people time to download what they want (not just your posts) and keep current. Keep an eye on the newsgroup and judge by what you see. When there's a lot of activity, slow up a bit. During a lull, you can post a little more.
Another type of spam is an off-topic discussion that just won't die out, especially if YOU perpetuate it. These usually start with a "troll" -- an inflammatory or controversial remark intended to lure responses and clog up the system.
No one, although there's a good-sized group of contributors and readers who safeguard it through both individual and united efforts. That doesn't mean we agree on everything. The forum are a free public forum with thousands of participants.
