10 days without news now my home pages won't upload, been like
that for the last few days!

I've given up with demon news I now use motzarella.

I gather it can be used with Opera but I was struggling to see how:

Welcome as a new user of news.motzarella.org
You have successfully registered as a user of the news.motzarella.org
Usenet news server.

As a registered user you may now access all newsgroups and post
articles to these groups.

Please configure your newsreader to access

news.motzarella.org

The port number is 119. This is the standard port number for news
servers and should be set as a default in your client. You also have
to configure your client to use the userid and password you will soon
receive by email.
