free news server ?

My ISP provided news server has not been showing binaries since 19/2/2003.
Can anyone suggest an alternative, free news server ?
regards

 

I like XNews:

Also:
Noworyta http://nnr.freeservers.com/
Forté Free Agent http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php
GrabIT (for binaries) http://www.shemes.com/

There are quite a few good, free ones. I don't know why anyone would pay for one.

 

Hi Abraxas, and thanks for the reply.
Excellent Newsreader apps that you posted links to.
However, I must have worded my post badly, as what I am trying to find is a free news server address on the net
eg news.abc.net.de
or whatever.
I already have Newsreader apps but no free server access to the groups I want to subscribe to. Also, the free news servers that I find and try, chop out all binary content (eg .zip attachments)
My ISP gives me access to
news.pacific.net.th , which is Singapore based.
Lately some of the groups with binaries have been censored or
(more likely, according to reports I have seen) sabotaged.

Well, there it is, in plain English: server.

I've been trying out readers lately, and in my spare time, redefining ordinary words.

If I find anything, I'll let you know .

 

Abraxas, thanks.

It's not an easy search, so do not spend much of your valuable time on it ...

PS Wherever did you get that moniker - not in my word base.
Greek ? Roman ?

 

Variously-known deity of Asia Minor, sometimes Abracaxas, the co-incidence of opposites. The Western Yin/Yang. Possibly the origin of "abracadabra ".

Also, a Santana album .

 

This is an extremely reliable free server (it's actually better than my ISP's server). Binaries are not carried.

HTH.

 

Thanks Brett,
Indeed a good news server - alas no binaries ...
regards

 

Poop! Didn't read your first post properly. Sorry!

 

I caught a touch of that infirmity myself .

 

BTW, Abraxas, have you tried Gravity?

 

I have Galaxy - but not too impressed with it.
regards

Just got Anaware (Microplanet) Gravity yesterday. Are you hacking me?

Haven't really looked at it yet. And the Supergravity add-on wouldn't install. Need to look a little more.

 

It doesn't "install ". Just move the existing .exe to some other folder and then unzip SuperGravity's .exe to the Gravity folder.

 

Thanks, brett.
