free newsgroup server

im trying to understand this new (to me) way of downloading with newsgroups
and of what i see ...
if my isp has no news server ... im f*****
if i dont want to pay to get access to a newsgroup server ... im f*****

are there any free newsgroup server... free access... open signup?
some with invite system?

damn i like the sharing community, but i dont want to be fourced to pay, if i like what i see i will donate... but to pay to get access ... hell no

maybe i understood the hole thing wrong ...

invite system? usenet isnt like bittorrent.

There are NO good free usenetservers.

You need to pay because the servers need to pay their high bills ;)

Yoi can try yottanews, but you can only download 1 GB per month, not a lot

usenetserver $3 for 3 days... ya cheap bastard:lol:

Someone never understand about UseNet is that they get much more than what they pay for it:whistling
So just ignore them.:D
Donation? lol
Think about your ISP and they hope their customers would donate them?
Advertisement? lol 1000 times
UseNet is not a web site, how can they earn $ from ads?

Again, there isn't free and good UseNet services.;)

try to get some stuff from usenet, see the speed, the quality of releases and after that you can decide to pay or not .. ;)

I came to usenet from torrents..I now only use torrents when the things don't show up on usenet..Can't beat the speed or the fact I don't have to upload and have my ip out there for all to see..Usenet is the only way to go..For 14.95 a month for unlimited downloading compared to the risks in torrents and ftps..No brainer..Usenet is here for good..

the saving on my eletric bill will pay my fee no need for it beeing on 24/7 to seed back what i leeched on torrent sites
