I've been downloading files from usenet for a couple years now; but I've never really known how to upload content.

Ultimately I'd like to find a Linux tool I can use from the command line that accepts a file (or folder), performs the necessary steps to break it into parts and upload each to a configured usenet provider, then spit out an nzb file for retrieval to be uploaded to an indexer.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Terabytes of Old Usenet Articles since 1980s Restored in 471,000 News Groups

I love treasure hunting. Sometimes Usenet feels like the dusty old thrift store of the Internet. If you have ever found a thrift store with rows of shelves chock full of books, old compact discs, and ancient cassette tapes, then you know what I mean.

As the title says, I am looking for active newsgroups. I found alt.fan.usenet and alt.usenet.newbies

There are troves of interesting information on that wiki, including the maps. I'd think that would be amazing to keep alive.

Does anyone even know how (and from where) they scrape data to keep it up to date?
