    This thread perhaps? (Teranews have a full feed with binary groups and up to 50MB/day download for a once-off registration fee of $3.95)

    no i think its the other one. esat reset my april cap the other day to zero when it was up to 20 gig due to the migration from 1mb to 2mb. so i have 20+gig to use in the next few days. <snip>

    They seem to resell service from usenetbilling.com (ultimately using news servers at nibble.net), whose digital certificate for signup has been expired for over a month ... maybe best to avoid allright!

    Other resellers of the same service seem to include bubbanews, teranews, yottanews etc.

    Another "$3 for 3 days" is http://www.usenetserver.com/
    Good luck :)
