No. It's much more worth it to just fork over a few bucks a month and pay for access. The free ones generally don't support alt.binaries.* or have terribly low speeds (10 kbs max)

Sites like this one: http://www.elfqrin.com/hacklab/pages/nntpserv.php are a good start. In my experience, I could only browse the "good" newsgroups with free Russian servers.

I think prices run about $10 USD per month for 10 gigs of bandwidth. I believe http://www.usenet.com offers unrestricted access.

Most free newsgroup servers are ghosts or whatever you call them I think. I knew someone who was a part of one once. He was telling me about how they'd run some programs looking for vulnerable computers, then take control of them until they went out.

http://giganews.com/ $24 mo (57 days retention)

http://newshosting.com $15 mo (24 days listed but its really like 40+ as they are upgrading this)


if you do like 500 gigs a month giga will prolly cap your speed then drop you when you complain otherwise its great...

Torrents suck cock but http://www.powerusenet.com are worth a look, something like 8 euros for 4 threads and as much as you want in b/w per month. Speed wise i get about 1mb/s.

http://www.eurofeeds.com are also worth a try but they are a bit more expensive for a limited amount of b/w, which to me on a 10mb conn at work, can get quite expensive, cunts.
