Any guide on how to find the usenet groups? I'd hate to stumble upon them accidentally, so it's best to be prepared.

You'll need one or more indexers to find content. Keep an eye on that sub for when some of the good ones open their registrations.

Sounds too complicated for my tastes.

It's more complicated to set up but ridiculously simpler and faster once set up, from what I've heard. Also something you shouldn't do. Nobody should do it because it makes illegal things too easy.
