sonic.net/features/news/ was created for this specific purpose, but since its creation we have eased back on actively promoting the use of our alternate news offering. Supernews-that-was typically had much longer binary multipart retention but significantly lower speeds and more aggressive connection-limiting than news.sonic.net. Due to the nature of newsgroup traffic, we do not make firm guarantees about article retention and multipart completion that cannot made with genuine confidence.
