usenet servers
 
Can anyone recommend a good quality, high retention and, above all, fast usenet server I can subscribe to. I've used usenet-access before but as I notice a 500MB per day limit I shan't be going back to them anytime soon. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I use Newshosting.

cheers sailor, just had a look at that link. Looks interesting, still not too enamoured with the idea of a download limit but I guess that's par for the course.

sailor 10-26-2003 06:57 PM

Yeah, it is. There are companies that offer unlimited downloads, but they cost a lot more. Granted, if you really download that much, it would come out to be less per GB, but it costs a <i>lot</i>.

I thought 10GB wouldnt be nearly enough for me, but I have yet to use much more than 5GB per month. I think you will end up using less than you think.

Here, check this link out. I used it several times to decide which service to go with.

I just use the one rom my ISP. They outsource news to usenetserver.com. It's ok, but sometimes I can't download even article headers. It usualy is fast, but sometimes plain doesn't work. never in-between.

im on cox cable, theres are free.. no limit, and 6 day retention i believe.. and they have most the binary newsgroups.. i would try the ones from your ISP

i've used giganews for over a year now, highly reccomended

18 day retention (i believe, i'm not positive on this), extremely fast servers, and never an incomplete file

sailor 10-28-2003 01:26 PM

Yeah. The problem with some ISPs is that many dont have a news server, and many of those that do have horrible retention, horrible completion, dont carry many groups, or are just plain slow. I was running my ISPs until I came to school, which had a crappy news server, so I had to pay for one.

Easynews is by far the most highly recommended. My friend bummed an account off someone and is satisfied with the retention and quality for a good long time.

I've been using Giganews. I've had no problems with it. Good retention and fast. And I use Newsbin Pro for downloading. Good stuff

I use easynews after switching from usenet server. I like easynews' web interface option for when I am not at home.
