Nope. Fails one of my tests as  "full text feed"
 
 
news.usenet.ovh - NNTPERROR: 411 No such group aus.computers
news.usenet.ovh - NNTPERROR: 411 No such group aus.cars

 
Ok.
 

That said, other "language servers" on that list dont carry them either,
although they are not listed as, or alleged to be, FTF's - so nothing
wrong with that, OVH is listed as French, not a  full text feed, so the
listing as it is , is correct.

 
I can carry them too.
Do you have a list of missing text hierarchies ?

Nah, my script connects to select known public servers and checks a
couple groups from news.* aus.* and rec.* to see if they can be found,
and if exists gets a known article from one of those groups to make sure
it is readable.

(the script started out being a propogation tester when once had
complaints posts weren't getting out, that script proved everytime the
issue was not with the server, of course I cant test some public servers
because of 480 AUTH errors)
