Is there any site, besides groups.google, which offers a free rss feed of the most recent messages for any usenet newsgroup? I mean a service like the following: http://groups.google.com/group/news.groups/feeds

I assume your current internet provider does not offer Usenet as part of its service? – Al Everett Jan 29 '10 at 14:59
I'm interested in rss feeds of usenet messages, not in access to some public newserver. See my updated question. – Toc Jan 29 '10 at 19:47

"Usenet feed" usually means receiving the messages over NNTP, which Google does not offer.

Some freely accessible servers are:

aioe.org is a public server, no registration needed - which means it's only useful for reading. To combat spam, posts originating from such servers are often filtered strictly or even completely rejected.

If all you want is binaries, good luck trying to get them for free. The disk space required for even a week's posts is way too big.

Maybe you could use yahoo pipes for the work: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/ . You could try usenet-replayer also.
