|
|
| Step One: Choose "Wizard" in the "File" menu or click on the left-most button on the toolbar.
|
Follow-Up: Here is a picture of what it will look like.
 |
|
The Ozum Wizard button on the toolbar
|
|
|
| Step Two: The first thing that the Wizard will ask you to do is to choose a name for a new project. |
Follow-Up: A project is a working environment that remembers your news-servers, subscribed newsgroups, filters, and other parameters that you set. You must have at least one project, but can have as many of them as you wish, with the option of saving each one in a location of your choice on your hard drives.
|
| Step Three: To work with the large diversity of info on the Usenet, you may find it convenient to group similar newsgroups together. |
| Follow-Up: You can do this using projects. For example, you can have a "Music" project, a "Humour" project, a "Family" project, a "Work" project, etc. If you are a dad, you might want to protect your kids or protect yourself from curious kids by creating a "DadsOwn" project and locking it with a password. Kids (nor anyone else) won't be able to open such a project. Also, it is a good idea to lock Ozum so that a password is required to add a new newsgroup to a project. If this is done, no undesired newsgroup can be added to a project, and thus accessed, without this password. |
| Step Four: At this point, it is also useful to understand what a job is in Ozum. |
| Follow-Up: Almost any set of actions that Ozum has to perform in order to get information from a news-server, or post information to a news-server, is framed as a job. Ozum creates jobs automatically when prompted by user actions. Some are performed automatically and deleted immediately after completion of the required task. An example of such a job is reading headers of new articles from a newsgroup. Other jobs are required to be started and deleted manually, for example, downloading selected articles or posting files. A third type of job, like scanning newsgroups, can be used multiple times or programmed for periodic automatic use. |
| Step Five: Now you are ready and may connect to the UsenetREVOLUTION newsgroups! |
| Follow-Up: Follow the Wizard prompts until you have connected to news.usenetrevolution.com and subscribed to a few newsgroups. You will have news.usenetrevolution.com shown in the bottom left corner area of the Ozum window. Click on the "+" next to our server name or double click on our server name. It will open as a hard drive would open. Double click on any subscribed newsgroup. A list of available articles will be downloaded and shown. |
| That's It: Congratulations! You have started. |

By default, posting access is not turned on until you email us. To have posting access turned on, simply send a quick email to us, and you'll be posting in no time! Just remember - follow netiquette and keep it non-spam - after that...

| Question: Can I get FULL-SPEED downloads on all of my download connections? |
| Answer: Yes! Our speeds are UNLIMITED. We put EVERY customer on FULL-THROTTLE. You'll get the fastest downloads speeds humanly possible, based on your system configuration, ISP, and location to our servers. Almost everyone of our customers maxes out their broadband connection every time they log on and start downloading from us! Our servers were specifically hand-built for maxed-out speed. |
| One Last Question . . . |
| Question: Can I download past my allotment, especially if I find tons of big binaries, movies, or MP3s that I really want right now? |
|
Answer: Yes!
BONUS: If you have a daily or monthly allotment membership, we let you go over your limit by an infinite amount as  long as you have at least one connection open. This means you can download several days' worth of bandwidth in one day if you want or need to. We do this so you can decide when you want to stop downloading, and you can grab all those big binaries and movies! Our servers were built to benefit you! |
