Almost sounds like your usenet provider is messed up somehow.

All 8 of them? Doubtfull.

You use 8 separate suppliers of Usenet groups? Can I ask
which ones you are using? I mean, I'll admit I have some
non-Usenet (or not often carried) groups that I use, but
VERY few (e.g. I might use VMware's nntp or Novell's nntp
servers directly, but the rest goes through an ISP's
Usenet nntp that houses some 30K+ groups).
