Usenetbucket is a good value provider, that I have been using for the last couple of years for my usenet 'requirements'

Coming up for this Black Friday in the US, they have a promo of 30% off. Starts 24th of November (16:00 CET), which is 1am 25th November our time, and runs for two day.

A yearly 'Basic' bucket (1100 days contention, unlimited data, 25 connections, 10Mbps speed limit) comes to about $32AUD after the 30% discount (EUR 31.85, less 30% and converted to AUD, without any paypal or conversion fees).

If you can live with the 10Mbps speed limit its a bargain at about $2.50/mth for unlimited newsgroup access, and I have very very little issues with missing files in my linux distro downloads.

They have a free 7 day trial, and additional free days for referral sign ups, so sign up now to give it a try prior to the Black Friday promo starting on the 25th 1am our time (24th of November (16:00 CET) their time)

  The 1100 days retention would be the problem for me.

  My provider is 3000+ days and surprisingly a lot of stuff I get is well past the 1100 days retention mentioned in this deal.Incompletes because of takedowns more common these days, so sometimes you need to search further back.

        @supabrudda:
        @supabrudda, I use nzbs.in. I started using them before they went private.

    I find it very rare that I would be looking for something more than 3 years old

    But yes, there are providers out there with longer retention.. But this makes an excellent, and very cheap, source of current material

  Anyone got a good deal on a 3000+ day block account?

    newsdemon has 1TB non-expiring for $US40, but no idea if that's a good or bad deal.

      that's a great price. newsgroupdirect often has sales for around that price.

    What's the point of long retention now days. Basically everything is removed within a few hours/days.

      Try finding specific linux distros for kids that were posted up to 6 years ago with no reposts. Deal has a great price but retention sucks.

        like Toy Story Linux v1, v2, v3 Or Shrek Linux?

        Yeah I had to resort to Netflinux & PlayOn to obtain some of those older distros for the kids…I think @paintoad put me onto that.

        True. That's why true Linux afficionados have their commodity provider — think of it like Aldi — for generic distros, and a more limited but longer retention provider — think of it like a specialty grocer — for those, well, hard to find gourmet distros.

  Been testing this provider and big thumbs up! Managed to snag stuff that I wasn't able to get through newsgroupdirect and astra.

    I've found the same..
    Currently settled on usenetbucket as my main account, usenet.farm as a backup block account and a free xsnews account for whatever might be left

      yeah usenet.farm has been surprisingly good.

    I find reddit a good place to find info about the better places to find nzb info

    With black Friday coming up there's likely going to be some decent deals on indexer access

      Dammit I spoke to soon. My HBO "linux distro" from the west failed at disk 6 on all the beez.

  I messed up and purchased two years worth… one at the normal price and one at the Black Friday 30% discounted price.

  I would suggest buying one months worth, then use the "Extend" buttons to purchase your discounted rate.
