    You could download them and upload them? There's a thought.

    Usenet is by overall the king at content. There's plenty of old stuff out there, just use a search engine.

    Have you even looked in our index?

    Some ISP's bundle Usenet with their plans. Be careful to see if it includes binaries and not just text.

    Usenet is far superior

    Faster speeds
    No ratios

    What more do you want.

    P.S. If your from the UK and have Virgin Media as your ISP you get free Usenet access

    Only downside is that the retention is only 7 days.

    Ouch, honestly it's probably worth switching ISP's or buying for the service. My ISP (not in the UK) offers a 'Premium' usage from Astraweb of which the retention is at its highest.

    Previously they had the option to chose between Astraweb and Giganews

    When you do have a look at JbinUp it is a usenet uploader that supports SSL uploading straight out of the box, no other software or setups needed to achieve it.
    Code:

    Except Java . I love JBinUp though it's a good cross-platform alternative to PowerPost.

    For JBin? It's German, just use the English site . If I remember correctly you can also choose which language you want the app to be in?

    How does SSL protect you from legal action? I doubt they wiretap you, would rather demand information from the newsprovider.
