Where's the best place on newsgroups to find the newest mp3 releases put out? I've just started using newsgroups, so sorry if I didn't ask that question exactly right.
I am using RR newsgroup right now since I am new to it. If I were to get UseNet, would their servers would have more recent releases than the RR servers?
What is RR newsgroup?Quote:

Ahh I'm sorry, I should have clarrified that. RR = Road Runner news server (My ISP). But if they update at just about the same rate, I think the RR news server will do fine for now.
How are the speeds with Road runner? Is it more like usenet or like dsl, charter -ect?
I had RR, I got my full speed which was 600 kb/s.
All the time.
But at that point the binary retention was like 2 days
Whats the Retention on Road Runner now? I'm just curious.
people have claimed 100+ days recently.
If thats true I would really consider switching to roadrunner, 7mbit in my area but only 500kbit upload, while i got 3mbit 765kbit right now with verizon. So newsgroups would be much nicer, but uploading would be worse.Quote:

I don't know how long the RR retention is, but I doubt it is longer than a paid usenet server. Therefore, if you're looking for stuff that was uploaded a couple of weeks back, you might not be able to find it.
