Can anyone help me figure out how to download files from newsgroups?  I get a list of topics and i can read them (mostly people asking for others to post a certain file) but there doesnt seem to be any files to download.  I know this is a borderline allowable subject so if its against the rules, very sorry i just need some help.  

Oh and ive tried outlook express and news leacher.

Personally, I use Newsbin Pro. Its the best program for usenet.

trying to use newsbin but it wont even load the topics.  Says there are no spools.  And no global ftr set.  I dont know where to set it or what to set it with.  Any help?

Try using Newzbins to get .nzb files and use newsleecher to download em. NZB's are the easiest things to use.

yeah NZB's are the way to go.
