A lot of the ISP's no longer carry it.

The pretend reason is that they are combatting child pornography.

Something to do with a scumbag, New York attorney general.

You will need to subscribe to a service that still carries the alt groups.

Sadly, many ISPs have dropped alt.binaries, stating child porn as the
reason. I have asked my ISP to provide ABPW, but it fell on deaf
ears.

Yes, I had a word with my ISP who use Giganews as their source and he said
they take everything Giganews carry. If Giganews don't carry it he is
unable to help. I downloaded and examined the active list, there are no
binaries there. There are some biyaries, biniaries and bineries but not
what we want.

Your ISP lied to you ... Giganews carries ALL the binaries. You are being
censored.

I think they may have told you a fib! I use giganews and have no
problem getting binaries and alt groups.

I have comcast and giganews provides the newsgroups to them. And they do
carry the binaries. Imagine, they were being less than truthful to you!

I guess they need to protect all the little children from all of us
woodworkers. Don't you feel safer already?

That is correct. I use Giganews and I still have ABPW.
