Newsgoups work by connecting to a news server, now there are free ones out there, normaly provided by your isp.
Virginmedia has one for example, but it only has a 7 day retention time (how long items stay on a group before being deleted). Premium news servers such as Astraweb, Giganews etc. offer superior retention (almost a year!!) with a bonus of offering you encryption so know one (your ISP) knows what your downloading! It's not like a P2P system, you dont need to rely on people keeping there machines on to get the files you need, they are massive file servers that hold millions of files uploaded by other usenet users all around the world. These file servers have very fast connections that can supply huge amounts of data to all there customers 24 hours a day.
