Usenet free trials?

Anyone know of any free trials where I dont need card info & I can download about 5Gb?
I use zen for my usenet yet the thing i'm trying to download is too broken for even the par files. Giganews etc shows it as 100% so its a zen problem :confused:

Newshosting gave me a free trial two weeks ago and I immediately signed up for a year.

Yep, if not newshosting, thundernews will give you one. Click on support and then choose the radio button regarding test accounts.

Been a happy newshosting customer for a couple of years now.
Retention as good as giganews now too, even 85+ day old articles come through ok.

I'll give newshosting & Thundernews a go.
