Try gigganews. They're incredible!
Chris.
Do you need help with legal matters? Would you like to have access to legal
advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? How about assistance
creating/modifying your will? Are you in need of identity theft protection?
I'd be happy to assist

Hummm. I don't really like free news group services. They have bad
retention and completion. I think I'd just go easynews or giganews if I
were you. Give'r on a free trial and see if they do what you need.
Otherwise I'd just call up your isp and get their news server address.

Oh my goodness! Where can I buy my I love Panic software t- shirt?
This program blows the doors right off yenc powerpost and powergrab
and I loved those utilities for years. I am so impressed. I feel
like a kid back on my first dsl!
It's threading things and nicely sorting things down a la folders and
oh It's insane. I was trying to get enormous cues from the easy news
download manager and wasting piles of credit on broken downloads.
Nice one. I can't wait to buy it.

Is there an accessible program available to download usenet
messages? Everything travels in messages. Earlier the two big
formats were uuencode and mime. Later yenc was added. For
downloading and building binary files, you need at first an
accessible message reader; after that conversion tools, and finally
something like brik to verify file integrity before you try anything
with the files. I've read gnus can do this on the mac
http:/'/www.gnus.org/ and gnus may even be able to do some or all of
its own decoding and integrity checking by now. For gnus, you need
emacs as a prerequisite and since emacs talks there shouldn't be any
problem with gnus either. That's one mail and news reader I've not
yet managed to configure successfully. Interestingly, it's the mail
side of the configuration that is likely going to be a bear but the
news side isn't too complicated. hth.
