Wish I could tell you but I didn't get in on the free sign-up in time.

Just FYI, I added a few more Usenet freebies to the list: SnelNL (free trial no CC info) and Usenetbin.net (Free but access to only certain groups). There is nothing earth shattering about them but added them to be thorough.

I will wait for someone that has an account there to confirm it is down. If the free time is over it is a huge loss.

Thanks again for the new freebies, they might come in handy.

Is Xennanews substantially slower now for anyone else? I used to be pulling 10 MB/s, and now I'm capping at around 900 KB/s. Looks like there's a 25 connection limit, as well.

Consider yourself lucky because i can't even have a stable connection with their servers

It is always connecting and disconnecting here.

Yes indeed there is a speed reduction. I am getting around 750 KB/s with port 119 and SSL 563 (port 443 is a no go). Hopefully we will get our speed back soon.

Pretty good for a completely free service.

If you say so...If those are the speeds your used to getting then sorry for shitting on your connection speed. No ill intentions. Usually I would max 23 Mbps with this "FREE" service but guess they throttled it down.
