I don't have a location for it, but try Soupgate which will do what you want, I always found it better than Newsgate, and of course there is Irex as well.

So, you're not running a local news server? Because if you were, Fidogate would be one you might use...

It works really well, but I found you can only import a limited number of newsgroups with it.

I used it to import most of the comp newsgroups with no problems.

Was your copy registered as a server? My license is only the 50 node version; maybe that's why it was restricted...

Nope, I have the 1000 node licence maybe that is the difference.

Each gate or node in the node manager counts as one towards the total number of
nodes. So the 50 node version will limit you to 50 newsgroups (or less if you have other nodes/gates). It's outlined at the top of the registration form.
