    Do you mean a newsgroup server Ali

    As there's thousands of newsgroups. I still use easynews as it has the web interface, about a fiver now for 20 gig, i also have another one that needs a newsgroup reader that gives unlimited downloads for about 40 quid for half a year.

    Like Jax says, Easynews is good, but your own ISP should come with basic newsgroup access.

    Unless its AOL, Tiscali, Orange, etc etc

    Usenet users tend to clock up the bandwidth so many ISP's have either removed access to binary newsgroups or don't offer a news server at all.
