Page 1 of Cheeky request: anyone have a Usenet account I can borrow?

As per header. If anyone has a Usenet account that I could `borrow` for a limited time I would be most appreciative. I stupidly deleted something I was using for a comparison piece and my retention is only seven days so I can`t get it back. I might even be able to chuck a DVD your way, although can`t guarantee you`ll like it ;)

I don`t use or need one myself but this 1Mbit free usenet account might (or might not) help. The fact he said it works in the UK doesn`t mean it`s legal to do so though, I suggest you read through whatever faq`s, terms of use, etc. that they provide regarding access before using it. Here`s a link to the HUDK post where I read about it.

Hi,

I`m no techie, so apologies if this is not the same thing but, If it helps, I`ve got a unlimited Newsdemon account your are welcome to use.  Drop me a line and I`ll share my login details with you.

Hope it helps,

Neil.

Many thanks for the replies. I actually managed to get it sorted in the end, but it is much appreciated. I really should look into getting an account myself, but that would require some research to find the best price/performance!

I had another look into that 1Mbit speed free unlimited time offer at XS Usenet and nowhere do they say anything about limiting it`s use to certain locations. They display a german flag, a Netherlands flag and most interestingly a european flag at the top of the screen for choosing languages. When registering you must choose the server which you want to use from the choice of Netherlands, Germany or Belgium, so Belgium  must be the european option most obviously meant for more than one country  (and it`s also closest to the UK).

They usually limit the free accounts to 30 days but it`s an unlimited time subscription just at the moment so It`s worth having as a backup even if you won`t normally need it..
