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.
