This page contains a list of Free and Public Access News Servers from all around the world. At last count my best estimate suggests that there are some 30,000 Newsgroups available through Usenet. Most News Servers only carry a fraction of these groups. So the idea behind this page was to give you access to as many of the groups as possible. The lack or removal of Newsgroups, especially alt.binaries groups, on some Servers is a reflection of the impact of that wicked and stupid piece of U.S. Legislation called the Communications Decency Act. So Above all I dedicate this Page to FREE SPEECH.

It is doubtful that all of the links below will work. This is because some News Servers simply cant handle the additional traffic of being open to all and sundry. Therefor they change to Paid User only status. This is something for all of us to consider! Please don't abuse any of the servers listed here. Use them only for groups that you cannot access through your own ISP's Server. And Don't post huge spams through them!
