== Browse newsgroups ==

Kwooty does not allow newsgroup browsing. For this you should have another client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird. You can set up Thunderbird with an account that uses the same server. Subscribe to and browse your chosen newsgroups in Thunderbird, then select the file(s) to retrieve with Kwooty.

If you are looking for a special file, there are search engines for Usenet:
* [http://www.binsearch.info BinSearch]
* [http://www.newzbin.com/ NZBIndex]
* [http://www.nzbclub.com/ NZBClub]
* [http://yabse.com YabSearch]


When the file you wish to obtain is located, create the .nzb file and start the download. Kwooty is automatically associated with .nzb files.

Please do not search for content that is illegal to download in your area.
