Why Use Usenet?

Usenet stands for "user's network", and is sometimes called just "newsgroups". Usenet newsgroups are thousands of virtual bulletin boards on a wide range of different subjects available around the world. Anyone with access to the Internet can post a message to any newsgroup, read any message, and post a response to any message, making the Usenet a unique global common space covering a wide range of subjects.

The Usenet is an especially useful place to search for the answer to a question, since so many questions are asked and answered there. It is also particularly useful when looking for information about late-breaking or non-mainstream subjects likely to be part of the popular conversation.

What are you looking for on Usenet? It really doesn't matter because, chances are, you'll find it on Usenet.

The major set of worldwide newsgroups is contained within nine hierarchies, eight of which are operated under consensual guidelines that govern their administration and naming. The current "Big Eight" are:The major set of worldwide newsgroups is contained within nine hierarchies, eight of which are operated under consensual guidelines that govern their administration and naming. The current "Big Eight" are:

-computer-related discussions (comp.software, comp.sys.Amiga)
-humanities Fine arts, literature, and philosophy (humanities.classics, humanities.design.misc)
-Miscellaneous topics (misc.education, misc.for sale, misc.kids)
-Discussions and announcements about news (meaning Usenet, not current  (news.groups, news.admin)
-Recreation and entertainment (rec.music, rec.arts.movies)
-Science related discussions (sci.psychology, sci.research)
-Social discussions (soc.college.org, soc.culture.African)
-Talk about various controversial topics (talk.religion, talk.politics, talk.origins)

The hierarchy is not subject to the procedures controlling groups in the Big Eight, and it is as a result less organized. However, groups in the alt.* hierarchy tend to be more specialized or specific, for example, there might be a newsgroup under the Big Eight which contains discussions about children's books, but a group in the alt hierarchy may be dedicated to one specific author of children's books. Binaries are posted in alt.binaries.*, making it the largest of all the hierarchies.

Many other hierarchies of newsgroups are distributed alongside these. Regional and language-specific hierarchies such as japan.*, Malta.* and NE.* serve specific regions such as Japan, Malta and New England. Companies such as Microsoft administer their own hierarchies to discuss their products and offer community technical support. Some users prefer to use the term "Usenet" to refer only to the Big Eight hierarchies; others include alt as well. The more general term "net news" incorporates the entire medium, including private organizational news systems.

What Usenet Is

Usenet is a worldwide discussion. It is also one of the oldest communications systems still in use.
People post information which are put into categories. It is an amazing tool for everyone to use.
There are over 100,000 newsgroups dedicated to discussing various subjects.

Usenet can also be used as a research tool.

Usenet is run by thousands of news servers that are accessed by client news readers.
At regular intervals, each news server connects to its partner news servers, compares newsgroup
databases, and exchanges any messages the other server dosen't already have. A message posted to
a single news server is therefore quickly propagated completely around the Usenet in a very short
time, typically within a few minutes.

Usenet - the alternative to WWW!!!

Uncensored Usenet Newsgroups

How Newsgroups Work
Along with e-mail, usenet newsgroups are one of the oldest communication methods on the Internet. But there are many ways to communicate on the Web. You probably use more than one method, depending on your needs. One method you might use is:

Newsgroups - a newsgroup is a continuous public discussion about a particular topic. Newsgroups are decentralized, which means that the messages are not maintained on a single server, but are replicated to hundreds of servers around the world.

Newsgroups are most effective when:

You don't need an immediate answer.
You want to communicate with more than one person.
You want to communicate with a group of people interested in the same topic.
You need or want to provide extensive information about that topic.
The Newsgroup Process
A newsgroup begins on a single news server, but is eventually replicated to hundreds or thousands of other servers. News servers provide the infrastructure that makes newsgroups work. Each news server has special software that maintains a file for each newsgroup serviced by that server.

Here's what happens when you access a newsgroup:

Your newsreader,availabler from our newsreader page. (Microsoft's Outlook Express contains a newsgroup client.) using NNTP, connects to the news server designated in your configuration. Typically, the news server's connection information is provided by subscribing to our Usenet service.
Once the connection is established, your newsreader downloads all of the new messages posted in the newsgroups that you are subscribed to.
You read through the messages and decide to reply to a couple. You also decide to start a new thread with a post of your own.


Replying to a post in a newsgroup is as easy as replying to an e-mail.

Your newsreader sends your messages to the news server. (If it's an offline newsreader, it must first reconnect to the news server via NNTP).
The news server saves your messages in the file for that newsgroup. Newsgroup files are large text files, meaning that each new message is simply appended to the end of the text file. As the file reaches a certain size, or after a certain length of time, the messages at the beginning of the file are removed and placed in a newsgroup-archive text file.
The news server connects to one or more other news servers using NNTP (or UUCP) and sends the updated information. Each news server compares its own file for the newsgroup with the files it receives for that same newsgroup. It adds any differences that it finds -- this is important, because if the news server simply saved the received file over the one it already had, it would lose any messages posted to it during the update. By comparing the files, it can extract the new messages and add them to the file it has, without losing any new postings. The news server then sends the combined file to the other news servers.
The newsgroup changes are replicated to each news server until all of them have the updated information. This process is ongoing, and most large newsgroups change so quickly that the updating is virtually continuous.
Other subscribers read your messages, plus all the others posted since the last time they looked at the newsgroup, and reply.
You see their replies and new messages, and the process repeats.
