    news.iol.ie

    Doesn't carry any of the binary groups, but for the text based ones, it's ok.

    Realistically, there aren't any good free binary news servers. I used to use a couple in my early days on the net, but either they don't have all the groups you want or the speed is rubbish or they go down more often than Jordans' knickers.

    Bite the bullet and pay $10/month for an Easynews subscription. You won't regret it.
