any recommendations on providers besides eweka? i think i used to use NGD but it was redundant from eweka. eweka is good but just had a season pack fail so wondering if a different provider might have it
You’ll want a setup that has providers with different backbones. Found the map from the site that shall not be named. If you download alot, ideally you’ll want your main to be fast and unlimited with a few block accounts from other backbones.
idk whats up with these other providers. just signed frugal and it gives me a blocknews account but i cant login to my frugal account and resetting password doesnt work like my account doesnt exist. signed up for usenet prime and it doesnt show my username anywhere
Frugal Usenet vote from me. It has multiple backbones so make sure you set it up correctly in your newsreader (server priorities). there is no provider that doesnt have takedowns. it happens to them all. best to look for reposts if you can.

there is also https://whatsmyuse.net/ that is not in a confusing map form. also i dont think that map is current as can be.
I’m a fan of frugal. Comes with a nice block account for the older stuff.

Did you receive an email with your login info?
HitNews works well for me. Used it for years.

I thought the first rule of Usenet was to never talk about Usenet.
+1 for Frugal Usenet as well, I’ve had a good experience with them so far
Someone suggested Sunny to me about a month ago and it’s been good. Only issue is speed but I’m pretty sure that’s a me problem.
