: Hello,
Hello,

: Does anybody know what is happening, and if something can be done to fix it ?

	Sites that carry news need to exchange feeds with news servers in 
the US to get faster posting. For example, we exchange news with a few 
sites in Switzerland, this way, articles in the ch.* groups get there 
faster, plus articles in the ch.* groups get sent around the US faster.

	To fix it, a news site would have to set up news exchanges with 
other sites. But many sites would not want to use their bandwidth for a 
full feed coming from many sites as we do. We have 5 feeds that are full. 
We also sent out mail to most of the news sites in Switzerland for a news 
feed. If there is anyone out there that would like a full feed, we will 
be able to feed them.

: Does anybody know of an internet provider with a news server that works ?

	You might want to try imp.ch. They have a good feed. Or, you 
could even get a 'telnet' only account with a US provider. But there 
will be a delay in transfers. Most of those accounts can be had for under 
$10, plus you get all the extras like being able to set up your own www 
page on both a ch and us site.
