I've been a very happy user of `news.sunsite.dk' for a few years now. The service _does_ require a registration and an `~/.authinfo' file with the username you chose and the password provided by the web interface of the service, but other than that it is a freely available and it has been marvelously stable for me, ever since I registered. Registration information, and helpful instructions for configuring Gnus to use the service can be found at: http://www.dotsrc.org/usenet/ If your ISP doesn't do obnoxious things like blocking NNTP connections to outside addresses, it should be a piece of cake to register and start using `news.sunsite.dk'.
