The length of time of retention of various articles depends on your
newsfeed, not the newsgroup.

try this if your server has wiped you out (assuming you didn't
accidentally set your options to hide read messages). Donna

I can still see the old in this group just fine.

So, I'd tend to accept what Pete, Galen and dkat
are pointing towards.

Using Agent also and I seem to be having no troubles, though we were a
little slow this last week message-wise. In fact, currently this is the
most active Subject. ~ jan

You'r using Forte Agent aren't you. Check the settings in there for how long
to keep posts.
ie, it'll say something like 'delete after....x.....days.'

Mynewsfeed is reader.greatnowhere.com.

until recently their retention rate has been great, and, they are FREE.
apparently roadrunner just stopped providing newsgroup access. they didnt drop their
price, of course. Before that they didnt have this group which is why I signed up
with greatnowhere. but now it looks like I will have to download every day or just
miss posts, or, I have to get a better free provider or pay.

anybody got a better free provider with better retention? Ingrid

Not free but $7 a year and excellent retention is news.individual.net.
It tends to be the one everyone uses that needs independent usenet
access.

Just checked and they give their retention times at
http://news.individual.net/hierarchies.php and for the rec.* hierarchy
which includes this group its 79 days but is not less than 65 days for
any group.

Not free- but $15 a year won't break many budgets. Good
retention, full feeds, [no binary groups], some sort of spam
management & crossposts are limited to 3 or 4 groups which eliminates
a lot of the loons on Usenet.

Been using them for 4-5 years and am quite happy with them.

I just checked r.p.m. & the earliest post on their server is May 30,
2008.
