Questions about USENET
    #5410476 - 03/16/06 10:18 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I can't help but feeling that I'm doing something wrong.

I'm only using the Road Runner news server and another open one I found on some list while searching (freetext.usenetserver.com). Should I be using a much more complete list or something? Different type of servers? I'm finding it hard to to find anything of worth, even porn. A large percentage of what I've seen appears to be spam.



Am I searching wrong or something? After everything I heard about USENET, I expected more.

I use a service you have to pay a monthly fee for. Http://www.giganews.com. You pay the monthly fee, you point your newsreader at their server, and theres tons of good stuff. xbox games, tons of movies, anything you could want.

From what i understand the free servers arent very good?
