fast usenet server? (optonline sucks)
 

i jus got optimum online. Ive got almost 9mb download speed, but i just checked my usenet speed and optonlines servers blow. Its hardly half a meg.

What are some good premium usenet servers out there, that are really fast?

www.easynews.com
www.giganews.com

I have peering relationships with a number of them (easynews,newscene,alt.net, etc.) Buzzardnews smokes almost everyone.

giganews is not fast. Optimumonline proves it. They outsource their news to giganews. At least they did. Regardless, giganews blows.

i would relaly hate to hvae to pay for a newsgroup
i want a free one i can get the howard stern one that i can dl his shows from

Search newzbot look for a public server that carries a large number of groups (over 30k should carry his) Keep in mind the speed will be horrible on a public server.

usenet? the unlimited, completly free content provider? jk :winkwink:

Awesome services but exxpensive.

I use http://www.newshosting.com/
$14.95/month for Unlimited
Retention for binary ~24days
