KaoriFan Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 anyone who wants a really good retention of Usenet binaries should check out Giganews, got an email this morning from them. sure enough, amazing now (from 70 to 90 days), and text posts are not going to be wiped. really happy with their service. probably will kill my newsfeeds.com account now, and just stick to the one provider.

Jake Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I might go back to GigaNews. I switched to EasyNews a couple of months ago but their NNTP retention is terrible, like less than a fortnight! To be fair, their retention is pretty good via HTTP but I don't like their web interface at all. I just wish Giganews would roll-over unused credit from month to month.

Geo Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Bloody hell, i might swap and go with them then. Im with http://www.usenetserver.com and there's is only 35 day retention. [ANGRY][/ANGRY] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yeah giganews do seem like the best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I've been with Giganews for a year now, and the service has always been spot on. Well worth the 14 quid/month for unlimited downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi Ian Yeah I've been using newzbin.com for ages but just because you can get a NBZ it doesn't mean that it's on EasyNews still. I'm quite happy with NewzBin Pro really but I might give NewsLeecher a try if I don't have to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We maxed out two 45mb pipes using giganews and that was 3 to 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
