hi,
have been trying to figure out those usenet things in last few days.
for exapmle, recently one guy wrote, that he is sing newsgroups.comcast.net server, I looked for this server in www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm , it says

User name: your Comcast.net Primary email address (example: [email protected])
Password: your Comcast.net password

so, i go to the comcast.net, but i cant find a link to the signup.. It means, that I can't signup there, I must use their service to get that mail, righ? only then I can use their server?

ok, maybe you could name me a server, which is free of charge, no limits,no passwords? there is no sauch server, right? well, then maybe you could mane me a free of charge server that you are using, whitch is kindda fast, no paswords.. or is it a secret? I found one, in the same usenettools.net/ISP.htm, which they said I no password protected, but when I wanted to download something, nothing was happening..

thanks

comcast is an american isp.
u need to get internet access from them to use their usenet service.

there was a discussion recently about free newsgroups located here:
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/t123301-Free+Newsserver.html

i actually tried this 1

Newsserver address:freebin.readnews.com
Server Login:Any ( it does not require a login as such just put anything )
Server Password Any ( Again anything will do )
some ppl reported slow speeds, about 25kB/s
i got about 160-180kB/s on the movie i downloaded, all the way through.

ur still best going with a paid newsswerver though, as alot of things i searched for weren't available, for various reasons.
