Umm hold up there

Blocknews is a Highwinds reseller. It won't help to get a block account that accesses the same server farms where they're incomplete (i.e. You'll have the exact same problem). You'll want to get a block account that is reselling from a different provider altogether. Astraweb-based is preferable to Giganews-based.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong about the resellers, it's hard to keep track of it all. Why is everyone recommending Blocknews as a fill server if he already has Thundernews (both being Highwinds, right)?

AFAIK, they are not a Highwinds reseller. They are owned by UsenetNow I know for sure and according to this site http://www.usenet-providers.net/usen...-usenetnow.php they are a ReadNews reseller.

And that's why I threw in my fact check request, I was working off old information. Blocknews used to resell Highwinds and switched a little over a year ago (or rather at least a year ago)

NewsRover isn't mentioned in the thread about Usenet clients that support fill servers.
