binaries - OT
I used to post photos of my plants but now I can't see any
binaries (i.e. photos) of plants or anything because my ISP has stopped allowing binaries. In August they are getting rid of newsgroups altogether. Can anyone recommend a usenet provider where you can see alt.binaries? Or a decent newsgroup that I can subscribe to? Thanks for any help someone |

Thanks for any help Probably not what you want to hear but I get here via BT, their news server still takes binary Ngs. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Thanks for any help eternal-september.org is free and carries this group. As far as I know, that's the only binary group it does carry. -- Dan Espen |

OP's ISP is ending its operation of a news server. Forte also offers something they call "Agent Premium Usenet". When you buy their newsreader you also get a trial account. I've not tried it because I'm in love with Giganews but at USD 14.75/month for unlimited access it looks like a good deal. http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php -- Anne's Little Brother Bob |

And it is really good. |

I've tried Agent several times, too quirky for me. ;-) Have a good day, It is a great program, it just takes a little bit of practice to work it. I have been using it for 12 years or more and find it the best. Agant forte is not quirky IMHO. |

In August they are getting rid of newsgroups altogether. Free Terra news, though there is a very small one off set up charge. I haven't checked it out for years, but it used to carry all binary groups, though could be a little flaky at times. Me, I use Giganews, it's worth the monthly fee. |
