Newsdemon.com New Newsgroup Newsreader Information and Tutorials
March 2nd, 2009
Usenet hosts thousands upon thousands of newsgroups that can be subscribed to with a newsreader. A newsreader client allows the user to subscribe to these newsgroups and download the headers and messages from Usenet.
There are a variety of newsreaders that fit most any operating system and user preferences by the amount of features each have. Newsdemon.com now offers tutorials and information on some of the most popular newsreaders. These newsreaders cover Windows, OSX and Linux platforms.
The tutorials are specifically made to go alongside your Newsdemon.com Usenet access account.
Newsdemon.com members receive a free version of the award winning Newsrover newsreader. The version of Newsrover is preconfigured with your Newsdemon.com access account. You can find details in your member login page on how to download, set-up and configure your Newsreader. A video newsrover tutorial is also available.
Newsbin and Newsleecher have also been added as other supported Windows based newsreaders.
We want to be able to cater to all of our customers. If you have a newsreader you would like us to feature and offer a tutorial on, please send your request to your support department.
