I've noticed it for a few weeks now. > None of my bookmarked usenet links work anymore. Today when I start from the top https://groups.google.com it works. From here I can move to https://groups.google.com/recent And here I can click comp.arch and it is working. But then if I hit refresh it returns 429. Also all attempts to use links to individual messages fail. It looks like some very crude form of DDOS or anti-bot protection by Google. Somehow they are trying to force an interactive usage. It is so crude that it makes it unusable as archive. Which in recent years after termination of Usenet posting service was its only remaining usage.
