Instead of installing new programs, you can always just use Notepad with the "terminal" font. Since I don't use notepad for anything else (I prefer Ultraedit, since I do a lot of programming and such), I just leave it at that font.
thats what i do

Super FAQ. If only Xnews would add nzb... But, it is free, so nobody should think I'm complaining. |

Nice tutorial there. I've been using Newsbin Pro for my
binary d/l's for quite a while now, and Xnews for text.
Well, I decided to try the latter for the first time on
a multipart Winrar binary. A few extra pointers for Xnews
users, one of which is from Slyck.com. First of all,
in the Xnews Setup window, on the Display tab, uncheck
"Expand all threads by default" in Sorting and Threading,
and also uncheck "Split Screen display by default"
in Article Window Layout. This will make life a lot easier
for Xnews users. The other tip concerns setting the number
of headers to retrieve for the first time from a given
group. You can set Xnews to only download headers posted
within the last X days. Ideally, X should be the number of
days retention your news server has for that particular
group. For example, when downloading headers from a
multipart binary group for the first time using Giganews,
I set this to 30 days (the current retention for multipart
binaries).

Click the channel name and mIRC will go directly to that server/channel. Read the FAQ on how to do downloads and whatnot. It's easy.. really.

Great post WildGod .
Regarding NFO files I like to use a NFO viewer rather than the notepad. Try it for yourself and you will see why. NfoDiz is one and DAMN NFO Viewer is another. They really bring the ASCII art to life.
I would also suggest using Alcohol 120% for its ability to mount images (virtual drive) and it is a superior burning program when it comes to burning SVCD's and VCD's.

Would be nice if you could suggest this here -- »File Sharing FAQ. I'd add it for you, but you should get credit for the tutorial.

Feel free to add as much info as possible.
Heres some more great references:
TimDoc’s Downloading Guide
Slyck's Guide To The Newsgroups
»[NEWSGROUPS] NewsPro How-to and more
»nothing about newsgroups at the top of the forum
For free access to Newsgroups (limit of 50mb per day) check out Tera News.
Nice way to test out Newsgroups or just to use it to get fillers. Thanks to AR for this link.
A great site to compare premium Newsgroup service can be found here.
