- FREE NEWSGROUP SERVER
- Posted by Dave Boomhauer on February 18th, 2007
Hi,
Unless Sky Broadband already supply the above I need a free newsgroup server
I can connect to using Outlook Express (Windows Vista's Mail too).
I'm shortly moving to Sky.
Do Sky have their own newsgroup server?
If not, what should I use?

Should have checked shouldn't you.....Anyway answer is no they don't,
they appear to have problems getting their POP to consistently work
let alone newsgroups....
Google & do a search, there are a few out there, but if you are
looking for a server which carries binaries I'm afraid you'll have to
pay for the use of most (if not all).

Except that it's not free - although 10 Euros p.a. is unlikely to break the

news.readfreenews.net does binaries groups although I can't see many threads
with actual binaries attached! news.datemas.de is a very good one for free
newsgroups.

Interesting. I'd not heard this. Just know of a few people who use it
for limited binary downloading (in which case I can't see your address
being harvested if you're careful)
I use Astraweb so am aware what money can buy. The title of the thread
however was *free* newsgroup server
