Just curious if anybody uses either GigaNews or NewsDemon for usenet access and if you have good or bad things to say about either service before I sign up.
My ISP dropped usenet from it's service recently, so I need to buy it somewhere else and don't want to regret signing up for something a coupla months from now.
Mainly I'm interested in knowing how reliable they are with multipart files and
whether either service is missing newsgroups related to guitar topics.
(My ISP also dropped a bunch of my favorite newsgroups a year ago so it'd be nice to get them back.)

Usenet Newsgroups
# 1
So does nobody use Usenet anymore or has the web taken over so much that people have forgotten about it.
You know.... Usenet... the place with newsgroups like alt.guitar and alt.guitar.tab, alt.binaries.pictures.whatever
Helloooo ??

No, I don't know, but that sounds like a good way to sign other people up to recieve thousands of messages in their mailbox.
Please describe this 'usenet' in greater detail for us younger persons.

jeez... you kids....never heard of usenet. Holy smokes batman.
The place where you can download all the free porn, cracked applications, mp3's and anything else you want. (not that I'd suggest doing any of that sort of thing of course).
The place where you go to discuss every subject from rocket science to Buffy to every guitar subject you can think of without worrying about moderators.
Sign up with a place like GigaNews for a month, grab a newsreader and enjoy the way the internet used to be before the web came into existence.
Use the internet like a Jedi, young padawan.

Bittorrent kinda owns that field these days.
