Free Public Servers

I ran across these sites and thought they may be of use. I have not tried any so do not know how good they are, but if you need them they are worth a look.

Let me know if they come in handy. I am using GigaNews so have no real need, but I know others are looking so good luck

Should have added this...

If you find any good servers, post here so others don't need to try 'em all

Thanks for that, I must have a look at those.

I use NTL's free service just now and there are a lot of groups missing.

You have to pay a one-time setup fee though.
Think it's about $5.
Tried them when i first started with newsgroups.

edit:
Just checked my account there:

$3.95 one time setup/no monthly fees - 50 megabytes per day

Well its shite really as at one time I seem to remember using them before the fee but it was very slow.
The current 50mb isnt worth much anyway unless you have very little use like fills...

What about software...
Most 0day is only 10mb or below, unless it is an ISO.

There is no limit for uploading though.
