Then why are you using it? If you are on Great Wall Broadband, ask if
they have a Usenet server available. I gather you are in Wuhan from your
IP address, which means you may need to talk to the headquarters guys.

If they have no news server (and nntp.gwbn.net.cn doesn't seem to resolve
for me), you can always buy a Supernews account. Getting off of Google
and onto a real news service will be a huge improvement in every possible way.

There is a free server in Changzhou at news.bentium.com, which seems to be
pretty reliable. It has a good feed, but it is set up for read-only
access. It's possible that you can get posting access through their
server for a fee.
