I am looking for a news server that carries the most possible groups and does not charge alot and does not have a download limit or the limit is around six gig.

Thank you,
Tim

I am looking for a News Group Server too!

My $10 ISP does not have one.

Does any one have a free one?

Thanks in advance!

Most Universities have one. Thing is it's not cheap...like $1000's per semester, but HEY free news access! Oh, and they throw in a degree if you pass your classes!

I Really don't think you will find an Unlimited download service with ALOT of groups i have heard UUnet carries alot but i am unsure if they limit "seems someone in here mentioned it" most the pay services do limit even if you pay the premium prices.
your best bet is to ask in the newsgroups there is a few that are basically for asking what you asked here... GOOD luck

Try this one. It is average.
www.onlynews.com (http://www.onlynews.com)

A better one is:
www.uncensored-news.com (http://www.uncensored-news.com)
It gives you 5 different servers to choose from.
I have used both. You will get with any news server incompletes. The thing is to be patient. But the most important of all, they are both cheaper than the others and unlimited.
Onlynews has a 7 days trial.

www.uncensored-news.com: (http://www.uncensored-news.com:)
standard account-250MB/day, 9.95/month
premium account-1 gig/day, 34.95/month
www.onlynews.com: (http://www.onlynews.com:)
standard account-7.95/month
also "abuse of the system includes but is not limited to downloading in excess of 30 gigabytes over a 30-day period" which amounts to 1 gig/day.

I don't know about a lot of you, but I'm the sort that would probably go over that limit. onlynews sounds better to me, but I would not call either of those unlimited, and uncensored-news is certainly not cheap.
