Selecting Upload Groups

Hi.

I have a small question.

My Usenet Provider allows me to use a Download Server, and a separate Upload Server.

So I use the Upload Server to upload all the stuff I want.

I am not sure about this, but at this moment I have to type the group where I want to post the message to myself. Last night I made a small typo, and 6hrs of uploading went to the dumps......

Is there a way, I can select from the newsgroups?

thanx.

Hi Alex.

Is there any other way, then subscribing to a newsgroup?

I am not subscribed to any newsgroup. As I am using NZB or UE search only.

Thanx.

You can subscribe to a newsgroup even if you're not using to get headers.

yes maybe just subscribe to newsgroups you are used to post to.

off topic using newsgroup in the traditional way is not so bad getting new headers doesn't take too much time or resources even if a newsgroup has many millions of headers since as a rule only last headers are downloaded, e.g. the indexing server downloads headers from thousands of binary newsgroups without consuming much bandwidth.
