What newshosting provider are you using? Newshosting? Giganews? your own ISP newsserver? etc.

Does your newshosting provider have a help forum?

If at all possible, find out if your newshosting provider has a customer service representative you can contact.

If not you may want to give more detailed info here.

possibly, but the I could look at may mean he just wants to see which is best and if you signup every 30 days it is permanent. Just use a different email address each time.

Well if you want to go through the process of re- enrolling every thirty days while they have it on ,then yeah,you could use that. BUT the free button says "limited time only"...so that could mean that they can pull the plug on it anytime.

But it is not bad for 10 gigs with 10 connections...at least as long as it lasts....

I have just finished my 2 weeks free with Hitnews. I tried signing up with a different e mail address and they knew I had signed up before. I guess by IP. So does anyone know if resigning with usenet.net works if you use a different e mail address.

Thanks by the way for the link. 10 free Gig is not to be sniffed at.

Hmmm how to go from :frusty: to :w00t: ???

This has probably been said before and also a well known fact but what the heck I found it helpfull before I knew of newsgroups and all that goes along with it. Depending on your isp you might already have news servers included in your package.

BT for example has one news.btinternet.com and a list of news servers for each provider can be found . . . . . . here.

I use the BT one here in UK and get max speed of 118Kbps which is probably most I'll get out of a shared 1MB Broadband connection anyway. Saddddddly I'll be heading back to South Africa soon so I'm getting all I can While I can. Back home in SA Broadband is virtually nonexistent unless you are fortunate enough to be one of the elites to be able to afford a descent connection. I'll probebaly will be stuck with 56Kbs Dialup. :cry:

So if anybody know differently please please let me know. If you kow any fairly priced fairly descent connection in SA, Shout!!

Good luck to all and happy DL'ing! :01:
 
windy why dont' u chain a couple of anonymous proxies together when u do stuff like that, then go and sign up.

because now, it looks like they may not let you, they've seen your true ip address. if they care, they won't let you.
 
I wonder if it's worth looking into open proxies so that you can appear to be connecting from any of a number of ISPs that offer free NG access ;)
 
easynews.nl still works IF you were quick enough to create a personal beta account when it was still open. The previous public beta does not work, nor can you create a new personal account anymore.

lots of isp's have login/passwords now.. but I'm sure there are a few that are open to "local" ip's. A friend of mine used our school's isp to access newsgroups at home, but unfortunately not long after they started enforcing logins :cry:.
 
Likewise. :) In their forum they said that they took 7000 users into this personal accounts test phase.
 
Honestly... nothing is worth getting if it's free.

"But, I got this free couch from my Grandma." You did? Your grandma either died or she decided to get the 50 year old piece of shit couch out of her house that is soaked with cat piss and 50 years of rotting farts and 2 generations of baby vomit.

I just had to make an example...
 
news.task.gda.pl
yellow.octanews.net
news3.telebyte.nl

i use these 3 free servers with 3 connections on each, plus my isp connection, and i must say, good speeds all round with about 20 days retention..........not too bad really;)
