Is this the same as LimeWire, Napster, Bluster, Kazaa and any other music/video/photo/software sharing program, I don't understand what's the benefit of Binary or what it's use for.
I also hear their are free binary sites out there,
if so do U know of any free of charge out there, What kind of stuff can u get there that U couldn't get @ the other file sharing programs?

last question, I also heard it comes w/ ur ISP (internet service provider) but where do I go to get it, how do i pull it up?

Binary newsgroup is a kind of newsgroup that share binary files.

You can call your ISP to know if they support newsgroup. Usually ISP provide email service but some may provide newsgroup support. To use newsgroup, you have to setup your program like outlook express or outlook to access newsgroup, authenticate using user name and password and join binary newsgroup.

In Binary newsgroup, Instead of exchanging message, they split binary files (like video,program, application, etc) into number of text message in newsgroup .You need special program to join those messages together and extract that binary program.
