The PlusNet newsgroups problem is getting worse now.
More posts for a longer duration do not exist on the server.

Look pal, plusnet are shite; they remind me of another ISP that ended up
with fewer and fewer customers do to their reputation about 2 years ago
regarding dial-up; plusnet jumped on the same boat.
Find another ISP, if you're outwith contract it'll be the best change you've
ever made.

While I disagree with your view (they serve my needs for now), I had been
considering posting something on the lines of there being little need for
posting such items in this newsgroup as (a) it isn't a broadband problem,
and (b) customers of the many other ISPs won't give a damn anyway. Peter

This is an issue that we are still working on. The latest update I put
out on Tuesday, talks of work being made today and tomorrow. We will
then need the servers to catch up with articles which will take a few
days. I have another update to make next week, which should hopefully
be positive.
Kind regards
Luke

Don't let it worry you - Plusnet are my ISP, but I use
News.Individual.NET for NG access - Other than the odd problem,
Plusnet have proved OK service-wise, but their NG access has been
crap, so do what I did, change to another NG provider.

Thanx for the response Luke.
I was slightly concerned as this issue has occurred many times in the past
and as the majority of users these days don't use Usenet - more chat rooms,
then some consider it low priority.
I look forward to the issue being fixed. ;0)

Thanx Peter.
I have heard many people talk about individual.net. How do they fund this
service if it is given free to everyone? What are the limitations?
Thanx.

They are now news.individual.net.
The rest still applies (provided you don't want binaries - they don't
do those at all).

It is effectively state funded (technically the university of Berlin).
The biggest limitation is no binaries. You do also have to have a
valid email address in all your postings (but they accept the
me@privacy.net addresses).
And you have to register with them, which is free.

It's also incredibly fast. Articles I post to news.demon.net take a while to
appear, and sometimes don't appear properly (the header is there before the
message body is available, or something), whilst articles that I post on
news.individual.net appear immediately and without problem.

In which case Slick, I hope someone finds and uses your real address
to post with - so that spam harvesters can target you as well.

I believe privacy.net no longer encourage the use of their domain as a
spam black hole, but I could be wrong.
