Same here, just installed some Newsgroup Software and everything works just fine for me :-)
OK then, I live in East Europe, so maybe my location is to blame for frequent news server down time.
But, there is still question of bandwidth. Why php.net don't want to save some bandwidth, to them and to all of us as setting news server as primary way to host groups? News server as it is now is not great tool to follow discussions. You dont have correct threading and other news specific features.
