Re: [Newsgroups] Newsgroups with secure access
There is very little point in using NNTPS for newsgroups.
Unlike p2p which allows enforcement companies to view your upload and download activities, a newsgroup connection is direct between you and the news server. The only reason for having nntps that I could understand would be to make sure that noone could identify from your packets the data you are downloading.
The fact of the matter is though, if the FBI or other government organisation had enough evidence to monitor the traffic going over your line then nntps is not going to save you one bit ( as they will most likely already have previous evidence to get the permission to monitor your connection, and therefore will most likely have more than enough to do wahtever they want ). |

IL | Don't all newsgroup providers use the nntp protocol?
If so, the nntp part of the question is pretty pointless, the only interesting part relates to downloading directly via http without a newsreader. |
