&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;Basically, Speed Factory just dropped Giganews (which was insanely slow) and
&gt;&gt;&gt;have implemented their own news server that retrieves articles from groups
&gt;&gt;&gt;people actually read. When you request the articles from a group, if no one
&gt;&gt;&gt;has done so already, the server will automatically start caching articles
&gt;&gt;&gt;      
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;from that group.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;I use Bellsouths newsservers quite a bit for binaries, can someone
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;comment on Speedfactory or SnappyDSL's newsfeeds?
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;          
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Can't help you on that on, I don't do binary news. :)
