Your news server may have quit carrying those groups. I would recommend news.astraweb.com or easynews.com.

Many uk isp's have removed the larger binarie groups from their servers. Some do it as a temporary measure so contact freeserve to find out if they will be back. If not you will need to subscribe to a premium server as smokafatty suggests.

I don't think astraweb is taking new unlimited accounts, so if you want an unlimited account try usenetserver.com, though from my experience they were not as good as astraweb.

ultrafeed is another to try, but personally at the mo I am using Clara as also based in the UK. Very good completion and retention is about 4 days or so. Not bad for unlimited.

I can confirm also that this is happening alot as of late on Cable and DSL... hang in there and try to see what's up with your service to see if they will be back. It's possible they are under pressure right now from you know who so don't be surprised if they are gone for good..... :yawn:

Someone suggested www.randori.com (http://www.randori.com) are they any good?

Just had a quick search through a couple of newsgroup message boards and no-one seemms to use randori. Quite a few people asking how they are, but no answers. Found a review for them http://www.smr-usenet.com/review/randori.shtml which is not very positive.
