Certainly. You should ask your favorite search engine.

It's not that easy, because the vast majority of articles are for using Usenet to download binaries. It's not what the article was talking about.

Simply add a '-binaries' ( just tested with Google)

And first result : https://www.privacyaffairs.com/usenet-guide/

And yet… it's a tutorial about how to download with Usenet.

Sorry I failed you. I just read up the setup parts :/. It was so simpler when I used outlook abd my Internet provider offered access to newsgroups.

Well it was back to 56k. I don't think I regret those, now I have fiber.
