When Roadrunner dropped Usenet, I went looking for an alternative. On
a different group, several people recommended Astraweb and Terranews
as Usenet providers. After not much research, I went with Astraweb.
They have a pay as you go alternative and I figured that for 10 bucks,
I could probably download text files for a century or so. If you do
look at a lot of binary files, another choice might be better.

Hope this helps.
