ok, here comes the n00b question..
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
Re: ok, here comes the n00b question..
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:

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.
