$10 for 25Gb of downloads, that's a lot of usenet posts if you are not downloading, so basically that's $10 for life then as it never expires. Headers are not counted towards your downloads

Looks like a good deal, and supports the newsgroups I want. Thanks.  :D

Yes, unfortunately these days if a British ISP says "newsgroups" it generally means only their own newsgroups.  :mad:

{EDIT}
My mistake. My ISP (Plusnet) has a web-based reader that just shows links to their own groups. Looking more closely, they have a search link that allows you to find other groups. In fact, they do have a pretty comprehensive list, but they keep *very* quiet about it.  :-[

 O.K. Now I've discovered the settings to subcribe in an external newsreader, and have got them working in Opera. Does anyone have good tips for filtering the gold out of the dross?

Should have mentioned - the only use I have for Outlook Express is as a newsreader - does this very well (well enough for me, anyway!).

Heh, same here - haven't found an alternative yet that is as convenient. All the other ones I've tried have sucked in one way or another >_<. You do need "OE QuoteFix", though...
