FTD3 Part 1
| If you always news groups must take to see if there is something you're interested, this is a time consuming activity. With FTD3 this is an easy job. FTD (Fills Threads Database) is a program belonging to a community. The program allows people to let each other know what and where they are Usenet posts. |

If you have no experience with newsgroups, you can start with the beginning of the manual.

It is with this program you can post on each other to react and fills, Par2 files and re-posts to the poster asking.
It is a program that you can find many posts and direct contact with the poster can have.
You can become a member of this community. The problem is that membership is limited to the density of servers limit. It is possible that there are no more free places. The dormant accounts are regularly cleaned up so there is room. If it fails, try it every day, this could easily take a couple of weeks but it is certainly worthwhile.
The program can download from the following locations.
