Brett,
Are you talking about text discussion groups or binary Usenet (ie. Music/Movies etc.)?

Plusnet only supply a text usenet feed. You will have to sign-up with one of the many usenet providers for binary feeds.
Don't use usenet so can't recommend any S/W.

Peter's right Brett.
As for recommendations, I personally use Newsbin Pro as my client and Astraweb as my provider. I source my .nzb's from here.
There's some useful info on the ins and outs here.
