Giganews as provider and NewsbinPro as client.

Newshosting is cheaper and are also good (haven't used them myself)

Honestly I think the whole idea of file sharing is so we can get stuff for free. I would never pay for music- movies- applications- etc. period.

Once I've signed up for Giganews, installed Newsbin Pro and run the program what do i do first?

Add newsgroups? If so, how do I do this?
Should I do a search for newsgroups that carry the kind of files I want? (Why isn't this automatic?)
If so, once I find the newsgroups how do i add them and start downloading?

After installingNewsbin Pro you setup the server address (from mail from Giganews).
You might right click Unsorted in the "Groups:" tab and select add group to add a group. Then you right click the group and select download headers.
Just find groups like alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.techno for techno music etc. Some groups have all sorts of content.
You might just grab a NZB file from this forum and load in in Newsbin.

You can also search with search engines like www.binsearch.info, www.lewzleech.com etc.
