I would like to try to download usenet newsgroup messages. Anybody know how? I'd take a look at IPWorks but I don't understand how to download it. Any suggestions?
A:
You pretty much just have to connect to it and then send NNTP commands and parse the results. Look at RFC3977 for information about NNTP.
If you search for "c# nntp" or similar in google you'll find plenty of samples.
This is assuming you only want to deal with text messages. If you want to deal with binaries it gets a bit more complicated and you probably have to look up yenc and similar.
