The only issue I have with ET is it doesn't always connect to
Thunderbird and once in a while this connection means I can't read a

I use the Agent newsreader, which works pretty well.

I mostly use news.solani.org, you need to register.
It is faster than eternal september, I use that sometimes too.
I think eternal september slows things down if you do a lot of downloading...

I use my own newsreader 'NewsFleX' since 1998 ? or so, when I got a CD with Linux (SLS Linux)
 https://www.linux-distros.com/sls-linux/
and needed a replacement for free agent, so wrote NewsFleX:
 https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/newsflex/index.html
  re-wrote it some time back so it also runs on Raspberry Pi4 (using that now).

Amazing Usenet still exists!!
