your isp hosts the content to allow it's subscribers access. how good Bellsouth is i don't know.....Roadrunner is tolerable thanks to QuickPar.

stop being so paranoid about safety ffs. they'll be going after Bittorrent long before Usenet.

i used Usenetserver for over a year.....they have issues at times but i was too lazy to switch. they've been much better recently, increasing their retention and providing Encrypted UseNet Access if that'll make you feel better.

you ought to check it out for a month....you'll never give it up.
