Free/Cheap Newgroup Servers. Any recommendations?

Having moved from BT to Virgin Media, I have found that although the download speed is much quicker with VM, access to a decent newsgroup server is somewhat lacking when I try to download stuff. In fact, the server replies with the files not being available.

Anyone use an open (ie not tied to an ISP) newsgroup server that they would recommend. Being a diver I am tight, so a free server would be better!

Regards

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
