Try a free NNTP (usenet) server.

I did a little websearching for you and found http://www.jammed.com/~newzbot/ (and a bunch of
other pages .. but this was the best)

It's a index of free NNTP servers updated regularly (using some sort of newsbot), which you can
search too.

I did this search on alt.ascii-art

http://www.jammed.com/newzbot-cgi-bin/nph-dbif.cgi?qt=search&orderopt=desc&order=g_msgcount&gro
up=alt.ascii-art

Check out piggy.rz.tu-ilmenau.de  ... it carries 26325 articles
from alt.ascii-art  .. wauv ! (my ISP's server only carries a few hundred)
And it gives me an OK speed too .. but you may want to try other servers depending on your
location.
