| 10 | IanMcDonald | 3 | There is an extensive archive, originally by ~DejaNews (who no longer exist) and now known as GoogleGroups. A large "dark half" of UseNet is comprised of (often illegal) binary traffic (the hierarchy is mainly under __alt.binaries__, and let's just say __erotica__ features highly in the lists). Messages containing file( fragment)s are [MIME] encoded and most news servers don't carry them. |
