I recently tried to download an xbox iso of my ISP servers...

I found a couple of useful ones however I havent a clue what to do with them...

There are lots of different messages with the same title and am not sure how to get them all, which bits are need and what i need to do when ive clicked on them.... basically i am completley lost....

Does anyone know of an online guide to downloading of news-servers, or could email me with what to do...

any help would greatly, GREATLY appreciated...

Everything you need to know is in the FAQ, what software to use and how to use it.

As Cal_G suggested run through the tutorial here;

But I strongly suggest you pay for newsgroup access, e.g. easynews or claranews. They keep the files for longer. I struggled with newsgroups to start with until I went for the easynews free trial and everything seemed to click into place.

I've just re-read your post and it seems like you don't really need the tutorial as you are most of the way there. If you are using Forte agent and you can see all parts of the game (e.g 01/23....23/23) using the CTRL key and left mouse to select them all and just press enter. They will then be d/l to your default folder. This only works tho if you can select every file in the set.

Something to add, get the .PAR files first if you can, they will recreate any missing files, 1 .PAR file for 1 missing file. They are a God send for newsgroups.
