Hi Jason-and-All: Wondering if your tool would include those many Clari.net groups? When I was on Giganews, they had Clari from 2003-2012. Easynews has nearly the same. Wondering if there are places of finding comprehensive Clari in early 90s? Thanks in advance

`Wow Billy, thank you for an unexpected surprise. You say they are filling up? Are their new wire copy stories, or just any1 can post? I just examined 1 group, saw something like 436pages of items back to 1994. Are their ways I can grab these as mbox so I can display in Alpine like mail messages? Thanks so much in advance.

Thank you Billy: I am certainly enjoying these Clari items. While so-far several groups have batches of articles 1994-97 then they jump to 2003. I did find clari.news.tv which had 1990-91 articles. Last week when you said they were filling up, did you mean these archives will slowly find older stories? Thanks once again for a gold mine.

That was all from the usenet server. Imported to the web here: https://i2pn2.pugleaf.net/search?searchType=groups&q=clari

No more to find.
Maybe there is more on archive.org but I don't think so.
Got most of it from there.

See Header Path where article came from (.. mbox.zip ...) .

If anyone can fill the gaps say: here!

Hi Billy: This evening I tried going to that "text archive" which was discussed
here last august, however, it won't connect any more. I would like to continue examining those Clari groups. Would these new Google offerings have old Clari? Thanks so much in advance

E-S doesn't like that people now poll ten thousands of articles, as
this consumes many resources. The commercial servers also provide
binaries and are meant to be used to download gigabytes of articles.

Typos happen.

I love E-S and trying to do an unofficial archive from them will 1. Get
you banned. 2. Waste their bandwidth.

The commercial providers sell access by the terrabyte. Archiving text-
based usenet articles isn't going to be drop in the bucket for them.

Hasn't it been dead a few times already and the came back up a few months later. There are other free volunteer usenet servers out there. I think my suggestion still stands about not wasting their bandwidth.

I was just wondering why AIOE specifically when it's been gone for years.
I liked them as a provider because they had lots of groups that others
did not include. Not that anyone really posted on them, but they had them.
