I dont have access to the binary newsgroups. I'm just wondering if any
of them are still active? (from those of you who may have access).
thanks

David H. said:They are filled with crap and malware.
Many are installers for legitimate software but have been re-package
with malware.
Binary groupos that are worthwhile are those specific to art, crafts
and specific trades.
Example types are Photography and Woodworking.
--There are 10's of thousands of News Groups and there are many good
active ones in the alt.binaries hierarchy.
If you go to giganews or any other real news serve there are hundreds
of very active binary groups.
Just be careful getting executables. About half of them are infected
with something. (from the somewhat benign adware to nasty stuff)

If I had access to them, I'd avoid the executables. My main thing, when
I did have access to them, was to download old music from the 40s thru
60s, and music types outside the usual rock & country categories, such
as folk and bluegrass. I am considering getting access by paying
giganews or another server, but only if I can get access from WIFI.
What do you mean by "the WEB"? Oh, hang on: you mean you think binaryIt's just too damn slow on dialup. (Even though I think binary
newsgroups are faster on dialup compared to the WEB).
