I've been a very happy user of `news.sunsite.dk' for a few years now.
The service _does_ require a registration and an `~/.authinfo' file with
the username you chose and the password provided by the web interface of
the service, but other than that it is a freely available and it has
been marvelously stable for me, ever since I registered.
Registration information, and helpful instructions for configuring Gnus
to use the service can be found at:

If your ISP doesn't do obnoxious things like blocking NNTP connections
to outside addresses, it should be a piece of cake to register and start
using `news.sunsite.dk'.
Cheers,
Giorgos
