    I use it by having an ISP that has a binary news server, from which I
    can download using a binary news reader like Grabit (free but some
    quirks in newest version), Newsleecher (shareware, best client but site
    down) or Newsbinpro (shareware). Others subscribe to a pay server like
    Giganews or Supernews.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I use Giganews so that my newsreader access, digital or otherwise, is
    independent of where I access the files. Reasonable enough for the
    amount they retain. Plenty of server choices.

    Here's some more detail:

    http://www.giganews.com

    $12 gets you 10gigs of usenet downloads per month. The cyclocross
    worlds is about 700M, so you have plenty of room left in the month for
    extras. Their retention should have all the other cross races someone
    posted over the last month or so.

    I can DL from Giganews' servers at over 300Kb/s, completely maxing out a
    cable connection. 20 minutes to grab Worlds?

    alt.binaries.multimedia.sports is where someone posted the Worlds a few
    days ago, labeled "St Wendel".

    I'm on OSX , so I use a binary newsreader called Unison. Works good.
    Free for a few weeks. MacPAR deluxe will unpack all the files you pull
    down from Giganews. Google will find you all these things.

    Thank you mystery man! Sure would be nice if someone kept doing this
    through the Spring Classics for the things that OLN won't cover... One
    can only hope. Five hours of Flanders? Unimaginable for us over here.

    And thanks for the whole cross season, it's been great to see finally.
    You've made a bunch of people really happy.

    Anyone have any suggestions? Downloading the .avi or .mpegs, of
    course, was just fine--my Mac will play Windows Media files, too, but
    I've only got the two ISP possibilities for newsgroups, AFAICT.

  8. I was new to this too, but found that Earthlink has access to the the
    binary groups at no extra charge. I was able to use Grabit 1.5.1 to
    download all the different parts in one operation and then WinRAR 3.4.2
    to extract the MPG file. It was all very easy considering I had no idea
    what I was doing. Thanks "Ed".
