First, sign up for a plan with Pure Usenet. We recommend the Pure XXL plan because it has unlimited speeds and 20 connections.

Then, download a newsreader so you can search, post, and download on Usenet. We list a few different newsreaders in our configurator but this list is not all inclusive.

Finally, you’ll use your Pure Usenet credentials on your selected newsreader to begin accessing Usenet.

If you're not on a Pure XXL plan we suggest giving that a look. Unlimited speed can make a huge impact in how fast you download.

We also have a few tips on how you can improve your download speeds overall:

• Reset of your modem/router (power off, and on again after a short time)
• Your antivirus software and/or firewall may prevent you from getting a maximum speed. Try turning these off temporarily.
• Make sure that you're using all your available connections within your package?
• Go to www.speedtest.net. Is your internet speed as you expected?
• Does your news client automatically repair and unpack in the background? Maybe turn these functions off.
• Check for other processes on your computer that might be using much computing power, or are too much of a burden on your internet connection.
• Is anyone else using your internet connection?
• Could your account be used by others? Please consider changing your password.
• Is your internet provider experiencing maintenance or downtime.
• Additionally note, if you are using a VPN your speed may be reduced.

Please contact support to enable posting for your account. Once the support team member has enabled posting you can restart your news client and posting will be enabled.
