I've been do the trial account thing every 3 days (hitnews.com) for years, worked like a charm until the past few days. Can't connect at all now. Maybe they've finally wised up??

Change your IP and try again.Originally Posted by pudda
Edit* Changing IP can help but not in this case. I think they did wise up a bit. need to find alternative routs.

I'm having the same problem with hitnews and xennews free trials. Signed up for fresh new accounts and still get a 502 Failed to login.
hitnews probably had some technical difficulties because the connections to their free server were denied for 10hours, but now it's working again.
still not working for me
you can actually get around it with "yahoo's disposable email".
free.xsusenet.com was working fine for many month until recently. Now when I connect, I get "Access Denied to your node". I did have multiple accounts using same IP address though.
You must renew your account every 30 days now...
They'll issue you a different username/password after you renew your account. Check the e-mail you used to sign-up for the account.XS Usenet Free accounts need to be renewed on a monthly basis. Our free 1Mbit package is and always will be free of commitment and charge. To keep our system clean and give motivated users a chance to profit from our specials, XS Usenet will pause your account every 30 days.
Big Thanks UseNut. Just renewed my account and all is working again now.
How do you go about renewing an account?
I got an email saying my account expired, but the link takes me to a payment page.
