- cosarara 9y agoBut you need to pay for usenet to use a newsreader, right?
- vertex-four 9y agoThere's at least one free Usenet server for the text hierarchies. You only need to pay if you're wanting binaries (i.e. an alternative to torrenting).
- JetSpiegel 9y agoFor text groups, there is AIOE and Eternal September.

Page down and up with space & b, etc. It's been a little while since I used a newsreader and I didn't use to slrn, so took a few minutes to get used to.
