....if you're paying for usenet and you have ool as your provider you're throwing away your money. ool outsources its usenet services to giganews, one of, if not the largest newsgroup provider out there, through ool they offer somewhere around a two week long retention and download speeds of around 200KB/s (800 or so on downloading the headders). You should of seen how their newsgroups were before they outsourced them, 24 hour retention *cry*, you're privledged that they give ya that access as part of your monthly fee.

my isp offers newservers at no extra cost(lots of isp's do)..i get around 10mbits/down and sometimes up to 15mbits/down..the retention pretty much sucks though..but,it is free,so i can't complain..so anyone who likes using newsgroups,should first check with thier provider..even if you buy service with giganews(or whatever),you can still add on your isp's newsserver..

Mine does provide access to newsgroups, with unlimited monthly downloads and 1.8MBPS. However it's only 3 days retention.

just found out sbc has one like 5 months ago. free=always good

newsgroups is awesome

easynews

I'm quite fond of easynews.com.

At least 30 day retention (I believe it's 40). $9.99 for 20GB a month. You can get another 512MB a week for free by taking the customer service survey and additional opportunities to earn gigs by giving away CPU usage. A GREAT web based global search and all of your Gigs roll over every month.

I am thinking about using easynews instead of newshostings

Im sick and tired of waiting a few days after the release is posted to vcd quality to get the releases its too damn slow.

Can I still use newsbin pro with easynews?

not getting your bootlegs fast enough, huh? the specific server you use isnt the problem, junior.

Posted by TwinZ on 09-16-2005 09:35 AM:

how the hell is no new releases on usenet a problem? there has been lots of new stuff on that i can see. !

Posted by nykid on 09-17-2005 04:40 AM:

the binary I usually get the releases is not updated lately..I was just wondering. I use newshostings

Posted by sportsfan99 on 09-17-2005 05:19 AM:

Newshosting is one of the top paid providers so I know they carry all the relevant groups. You're probably just not looking in the right places cuz I see the new releases all the time.
