Usenet.net VS Pan

Thanks. I mean, it was broke so did need fixing. I'll cancel down usenet.net at the end of the month before it renews again. No point paying for that as Eweka seems much better so far. Source: over 2 years ago

So today after reading about the subreddit, I've signed up for Eweka using the cheap deal linked in the sidebar. My usenet.farm block account still has a while to run and is paid for so I might as well leave that on for now. The question is what I do going forwards. I will probably ditch usenet.net as its not particularly cheap (its just on a rolling monthly payment currently). But what do I replace it with? Source: over 2 years ago

Pan works well for me when I'm on a desktop with a GUI. Otherwise, I still use tin. http://pan.rebelbase.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Try the good old Pan Newsreader. When you click "Get Headers", you have the choice of the last N days of headers, or just new headers, or All headers, or "Get the latest N Headers", and you can fill in the number. I think "All headers" starts from the oldest, but I could be wrong. Source: about 2 years ago

> Is there a way to connect (preferable with the ability to post) with it for free? Yep, you can get a free account at https://www.eternal-september.org/ if your ISP doesn't carry newsgroups (note it's for text groups only). Personally, I use Thunderbird as a newsreader (and my ISP still carries most newsgroups), there are also dedicated apps like Pan: http://pan.rebelbase.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
