    thanks
    was looking for a block account backup (currently use usenetbucket as my main) uand this will do

    • So, what can I find on or via UseNet…?

      • Nothing. Keep using your torrents.

  • is this like the old school news servers?

    Lets you download pirate content free and untraceable?

    If so a) I didn't know they still existed and b) is it still worth it?

      nope… this is purely for accessing discussion groups

    • You need to be on private indexers since anti-piracy forces like the DHS and NSA removes public nzbs

      • What? More cost?!?

        This is getting like selling: Eye Glasses, in the old "Blink when the Price is High enough" …pricing the bits:

        Len$ + Frame$ + screws for ear pieces, etc.

      Yup very olde skool, you can queue that simpsons episode before you goto bed & hope the modem doesn't drop before it finishes tomorrow arvo. But make sure you set it to download using Zmodem protocol, so you can restart if you're bloody flatmate does decide to pick up the phone, or turned call waiting on - idiot

      • Hahaha! :)

    Since leaving Internode (and their free usenet) i have tried newsdemon, tweaknews, astraweb & usenet.farm

    i rate these guys as #1 of that lot.

  • If their trial account is anything to go by I'll give this service a miss

    • Disregard my comment above. Just checked my settings - had connections set to 1, changed to 20 and it works pretty well.

  • Mmm. I pay 5 bucks a month for unlimited Usenet access …

    • Who are you with?

  • thundernews has US$5.99/month for unlimited for much much longer data retention days than this lot

    https://www.thundernews.com/billinginfo.php?currency=USD&pri…

    • I also use thundernews but still need backup. It's so quickly removed by dmca.even in a day from uploading…

  • But is it free range?

    • +1

      No, but it is halal…

  • I like Stingy Monthly account (25mbps) that covers (exceeds) 99% of aussies.

    Any idea who their backbone provider is?

    • They are their own Tier 1 provider for about 30 days or so then they look back to XSNews & Highwinds.

      I've actually been pretty impressed with the setup as a backup account and will probably switch to them when my XSNews account expires.

      • Cheers, 500Gb can't hurt.

        • No worries. XSNews are pretty solid and give much better completion rates compared to Astraweb and Highwinds. XSNews don't use automated DMCA processes.

          Usenet.farm giving you essentially 3 providers theoretically should give you the best completion chances possible.
