Good free news group server?

My new news-server (at work) seems to miss a large number of posts on various newsgroups. Is there a good, free, reliable newsgroup server on the net somewhere?

You pay via your ISP. I think that's what Joe meant. For instance, try connecting to my isp's news server (news.quik.com), odds are you can't connect to it. I have the same problem. At work I see it all, but at home I miss lots of post, and if I try to connect to my work's new server news.bctel.net, it won't connect.

Try this news-server: n059.harderwijk.telekabel.euronet.nl It's a little slow downloading messages, but it's carrying about 15000 posts on this new group if you care to go back that far. Slot

I use www.remarq.com it works quite well showing the topics that have changed most recently at the top and having an archive of several months. Chris * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

Uh? I don't understand your question? Remarq is a free web based Usenet server. Thats what Joe asked for. Chris * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

Yes that is what I meant, I was wondering if there was a free server (for my news reader, not through the web like deja). On Thu, 9 Mar 2000 13:40:10 -0800, "Dean Williams" >You pay via your ISP.

Yeah, but do you guys get charged extra by your ISP for subscribing to various NG's? I didn't think this was the case. > You pay via your ISP. I think that's what Joe meant.

>Yeah, but do you guys get charged extra by your ISP for subscribing to >various NG's? I didn't think this was the case. No, but there ARE fee based newsgroup servers out there. He's looking for a FREE PUBLIC news server. Your ISP's news server is NOT considered public. BTW, I'd recommend AGAINST using dejanews as your sole news server. They're a few hours behind and the interface is hideous. But noone can beat 'em for getting to old info!!!! Gunner

O right then..... good to know

>Yes that is what I meant, I was wondering if there was a free server >(for my news reader, not through the web like deja). I'm extremely please with the one provided by my ISP: (netnews.worldnet.att.net) None are fee-based. Just point your newsreader at the one you prefer. Regards, Brett C. Cammack That's Racing!

Try this site. It allows you to search for the group you want, not too bad. I have Agent set up for 3 different servers for 3 different groups, since I can't get 1 server that will do the lot. http://www.jammed.com/~newzbot/ Rafe Mc

As far as I know ISP's don't charge you extra for subscribing to ng's (at least that's the case over here in the UK). However, not many carry all the ng's I access so I pay a fee of about �6 per month to to another company that allows me to get access to whatever ng's I require. Deja.com also used to offer this service so that you could access their ng's via your newsreader instead of via the web site but they recently did away with that service.

There is a utility called Newshunter. You start with any ISP's NGs and it collects names of other Newsservers. Later the program tries out the Newsservers if it can access NGs, e.g. r.a.s. over this server. Works quite nice. Jens
