The reason for this is simple....if they let everyone share accounts, it would not be long until a lot of people started to split the cost and just share one account. This would also mean less money for the provider while increasing the amount of traffic on their servers.
So no, I do not know of any newsgroup providers that allow you to share an account with another computer.
How do they know that you are sharing the account?
For example if you have a dynamic ip :S?
I know people who shared an account. ( I dont know if they still do it)
Different IPs downloading at the same time.Quote:

newshosting used to allow it for a long time. they never said they will allow it but they just didn't do anything about it. there was plenty of people sharing it but they never did anything. just recently they started to banned people account. i'm sure there are other newsgroup service that doesn't care about sharing.
