In my experience, news.barak.net.il is much worse than
news.netvision.net.il - i hardly get any updates from the former. I
have been using Netvision's NNTP server for years, and it has always
been OK for the newsgroups I was interested in (mostly comp. and some
sci.). However, I have not tried it for a while (my home computer
died).
Can anyone recommend a free public NNTP server that has a decent
collection of comp. and sci. groups? Not so long ago I found a few
lists of free NNTP servers through Google (can't find the URLs at the
moment), but the few I tried didn't work at all.
Thanks,
