So many, that's the problem. I wanted to know other people opinion, which
one is better and why. What is your favorite news reader for Win32? For
what reasons?

 IS>> 2) I have no newsgroups at my ISP's server.
 SO> news://ddt.demos.su -- special for you because you are Russian.
 SO> http://www.fido-online.com -- try to do the same while being online.

Thank you, but these ones are just mirrors of FidoNet echos. You did not
understand, I don't need Fidonet online, I need Usenet and offline. And by
the way, I'm not Russian and I need not Russian, but English newsgroups,
esp. Australian.

 IS>> Spent some time yesterday to find it, but failed.
 SO> What did you do? What could be easier to come to some search engine

Most of free news servers do not allow to post messages. The ones who allow
are not stable, because they are available due to misconfiguration. I just
wanted to know what free and STABLE news servers people use. Which one do
you use, by the way?
