Looks like GoogleGroups is in the tank for me.
I don't really know whats going on, but Google Groups is doing some
very wierd things.I'm posting this message, but find out I won't be able to access it
within 12-24 hrs. ... or longer. anybody else using Google for access to rec.boats or other groups
having the same problem? Interesting to note, I won't be able to read this post or any replies
for a day or so. I wonder if anything has changed in my "Preferences"? |

| Funny, for the first time in my history, my posts are showing up right
away. Within minutes, don't think I have ever had post come up faster
than 4-5 hours. |

| Tim, Start with teranews.com. They have a free server or you can get 30GB
per year for $29.95 and access to their premium servers which also
include support and have a very long retention rate. Binaries are
supported on both plans. I tried Google Groups after Earthlink went down and found it to be a
PITA to navigate. Dan |

| I had the same problem for a couple of days. Seems to be better now.
Maybe they're doing something with regional servers? Frankly don't
know if that makes any sense or not- but the problem that you're
describing was very apparent a couple of days ago in this area. |

| Maybe regional, but I have always had a 4-12 hour delay. This is going
back at least a year or more. |

| There is normally a 30-second to 5-minute delay in my Google Groups
service. |

| I agree with SWS..... It looks like your ISP does little more than web hosting and private
networking. So..... consider a provider like:
http://www.usenet-access.com/ for about $6.00/month and
a news client like those found here:
