No I don't unfortunately, but I've not come across an ISP without an NNTP
serve before! Who do you use? (if it's AOL I *will* actually hunt you down
and do very bad things to you!).
I'm with Zen who, thankfully, have a pretty decent Usenet service with good
binary retention (about 7 days for the busy ones and 14 for the not-so-busy
ones). I also pay for the Easynews service which I basically use for the
files that I've been too busy to grab as and when I should have (30 days
retention) ... but it's only about £6 per month, which is nowt for 20GB pm,
tbh.
