Well guys I think its about time that i ditch torrents and upgrade to newsgroupd and usenet access. I am wonding what newsgroup servers you guys use...or services what the correct wording is...I just want unlimited amounts of dl for cheap...OR something to the effect of 50 gb limited for cheap.

Right now im looking at getting service through http://www.newshosting.com/ at 14.95 a month unlimited DL. If anyone has better please let me know.

I've heard great things about Newshosting myself. I'm currently using the limited Comcast server. The bandwidth cap sucks, but the retention is great (they use Giganews).

Your isp may have free access (but I'm sure you've already looked)... uh my isp uses giganews as well.. cept i dont have a limit, make sure you get an unlimited connection.. i dl'ed over 60gigs one month... so yeh... i dont even download that much stuff but it sure adds up considering the xbox group headers are like 3 gigs alone. However, for some reason my isp limits the speed i can dl at.. i have an 8mb connection and it only lets me download at a max of 2.5mbps... so yeh watch out for that.

I've been using Newshosting for close to a year. The last month or so has been HORRIBLE. Their speeds have dropped to less than half what they were. I've heard from other people having similar problems. As a result, I've cancelled my account with them. If you're looking for a provider, check this out...

I like www.usenetserver.com 15$ per 3 months unlimited downloading and like 30 smth day retention. Great complition rate.

They even allow sharring accounts...

Yea...I used to max my 15Mbit on them...now I barely hit 2mbit, 3 if I am lucky =\

If your a heavy user, cant go wrong with giganews 25$ a month, you get 10 connections (max's out my 9MB Connection every time), plus retention of 70 days, and unlimited downloads.

**Neptune1988** · 12-19-2005,09:36 AM

I just can't see spending $25 for ng access myself =\ but that's just me

**JuddMan** · 01-05-2006,11:08 AM

free isp access is usually poor retention... but would depend on the provider... mine only has binaries available for about 2 days...
