I've been using gigaNews, they are definitely more expensive,

TOO MUCH! They have this group back to 2003, and my newsserver
has trouble sorting the threads for 400,000 messages.

434106 right now. I use the ld Netscape 4.78, with it set to only
display unread messages, and only keep unread headers. The .snm
(headers) file for this newsgroup is only 10,584,064 bytes, with 303
unread messages. There are some unread headers in the file, retained to
keep a thread intact. Once the thread is finished, it is purged.

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in
your account:
