  • Paganini down

    From Jim S@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 14 19:31:13 2022
    Paganini server is not responding.
    I'm posting this from/via Eternal September which is not always
    reliable.
    What other free server are people using?

    Your post is off-topic for this group, but I've looked at the groups
    where your post would be on-topic, and they're so full of rubbish that I
    don't blame you for posting here. Have you read John Wyndham's "The Day
    of the Triffids"? news.software.readers is Usenet's Isle of Wight, while
    the rest of Usenet is overrun by odious vegetables.

    There's a very short list of free servers here: https://www.big-8.org/wiki/News_service_providers

    I used to hear good reports of solani.org, but that was many years ago.

    In ten years of light use, I've had few problems with individual.net,
    which isn't free but very cheap.

    Another vote here for individual.net which has been very good to me over
    the years. Still 10 EUR per year...

    +1 from me for individual.net too.

    Meow.

    According to a post in alt.free.newsservers, paganini.bofh.team is back
    on line after some DNS problems, so we can stop our +1 cascading now. :-)

    Sorry. I should have said.
    Working fine and stores lots of old posts.
