National Usenet Newsgroup Providers
Most Internet service providers offer access to Usenet Newsgroups
as a standard part of their service. A notable exception to this is
America Online, which does not provide a standard Usenet news server.
Also, Microsoft Network (MSN) has a news server that requires a
special password encryption scheme that is not supported by News Rover.
If you are not satisfied with the set of Usenet newsgroups provided
by your ISP, or if you are an
AOL
or MSN customer,
there are various companies that offer access to Usenet newsgroups
over the Internet. They offer good value because they are fast, carry a huge
number of newsgroups and are inexpensive. You still connect to the
Internet through your usual ISP, but by subscribing to one of these
national Usenet providers you can access a complete and well managed
set of Usenet newsgroups.
In addition to national news servers that you can subscribe to, there
are also some free, public Usenet
news servers. However, beware: free servers come and go, and you
generally get what you pay for.
There are a number of good companies that offer reliable Usenet news
servers that you can subscribe to. Here are several that
we recommend:
Giganews
is one of the largest and fastest news servers
on the net and is highly recommended for use with News Rover.

Giganews offers 200 days retention on binary newsgroups.
Files on Giganews news servers can be searched using News Rover's
File Attachment Locator feature.
Giganews does not count header downloads
in your monthly download byte quota, making it an excellent bargain when using
News Rover's Autoscan to scan for selected messages and files.
