If you want "normal" newsgroup access go with newshosting theyre pretty decent. if you want something about and beyond normal usuage and the call of duty. Easynews offer some excellent extras such are par viewer, rar extracter, zipping service, a global usenet search (as opposed to newzbins pretty limited). Whatever floats your boat but i coudnt do without easynews now days.

Same here, always had excellent speeds from them and never had a trouble getting anything, even stuff 80 days old.

Download nzb of whatever you want, put it in alt.binz, and it will download the correct parts from giganews servers, when theyre done you need to check them( quickpar) and rar them back together (winrar), or set up alt.binz properly with their options and it even oes that for you!

There are loads of step by step things everywhere, and we've written it out here a good few times (at least twice myself). Check back over threads, and you can't go wrong....
