Thanks Larry, I will def check out xnews. My isp doesn't carry all the groups, nor does it keep messages longer than 2 weeks, so I'll also have to look into usenetserver if I get addicted Always glad to help. I just looked at the status page: http://www.usenetserver.com/networkstatus.html 31,175 users are downloading a mere 17.03 Gbps as I type this. The load is quite light, tonight...(c; The status page always graphs the load for the last day for you. They're bragging out Phase 2 of the upgrade is complete with 75 days retention across the boards, which is really nice for people who may be away cruising in a boat for a couple of weeks to a month. It'll be there when you get back. UNS's server stack in Atlanta is just massive, now....and Phase 3 is coming with even more. Getting them to add a newsgroup they may not carry is as easy as asking for it on usenetserver.support newsgroup where the guys actually running the servers ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE with us lowly users! We kid them about someone kicking the tape drive for the Commodore 64 off the coffee table, etc....(c; Too bad they don't also run a cellphone company as it would put Verizon clean out of business. There's a test deal, too. $3 for 3 days of unlimited access on 10 ports at once, just to test your connections out. If your ISP blocks the normal port 119 NNTP port...UNS has many other ports open to drive around them, too! Larry -- Democracy is when two wolves and a sheep vote on who's for dinner.
