Free Usenet Binaries Server

[saturninus]

I tried going into some of my favorite Usenet groups only to find that SBC (or AT&T) had blocked them.

I was wondering if there are any good free USENET servers that have access to the alt.binaries.* list of groups?

The first three links here cover the issue of the usenet block by ISPs:

Basically, that means that direct access through your ISP for that entire usenet hierarchy is blocked.

Thanks glc.

I Googled why I could not access the newsgroups via AT&T anymore. I can't believe three major ISPs would block the entire Usenet due to "child pornography." It's a bit extreme.

That's just the beginning.

I can't wait for the bandwith caps.

Somebody's gotta keep these ISPs in check.
