Well, PteraGnuz is at it again, now for a few weeks and seemingly forever. No connect/recognition of username/password for the "free" user...
They will not tell you, but they want you to convert to a paid user.
Same here. I sent several messages to snipped-for-privacy@teranews.com and they didn't bother responding. Their system status is dated Friday, 22 January 2010

It will come back eventually but for now AIOE will do as a free server.

Buy a block - under $10 and then the problem goes away for at least one lifetime
Changing to a paid user takes effect in about 10 minutes, and works (as you see).
Well, sort-of; they DO have a restrictive number of lines for a post. "Eventually" does not cut it. The way i read their text on their site,it sounds like "NEVER,do NOT hold your breath".
What is a block? I signed for the 7.95/mo.
ES has been fine for yonks.

A bulk purchased download quota that does not expire - eliminating monthly fees. Example:
If you mainly use Usenet with text based newsgroups then that 5GB block is probably a lifetime supply. $2 once vs $95 per year! You do have to tell thecubenet that you also want to post but they appear to be problem free
Forgive my utter ignorance: what is "ES"?
Binaries? They do not say.
Eternal-september.org. Free Usenet, with few frills but no BS either.

you can download binaries - that is what most people use block accounts for
