comp.lang.c again.

Indeed. Someone set up

   https://usenetarchives.com/

which seems to be copying Usenet articles from somewhere but it is doing 
so very slowly. For the record, at the time of writing this the stats 
page currently reports 98,351,419 posts.

There are also Usenet collections on

   https://archive.org/details/usenet

but it's not clear what posts are there or how one is supposed to access 
them.
