Usenetbucket - Easter Sale - 30% off Discount

140

30% off all Usenetbucket plans until April 4th

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

  • Basic Bucket - 1600 days retention, unlimited data, 10 connections, 10Mbit speed limit, comes to about $36AUD/year after the 30% discount (~$3/mth)
  • Comfort Bucket - 1600 days retention, unlimited data, 10 connections, 40Mbit speed limit, comes to about $60AUD/year (~$5/mth)
  • Ultimate Bucket - 1600 days retention, unlimited data, 25 connections, 400Mbit speed limit, comes to about $157AUD/year (not sure why you would need 400Mbps but if you did there are likely better plans out there than this one)

They have a free trial, and you can then add on one of these plans

    Here's a usenet service map, make sure you choose providers on different backbones for best results.

    • Er … what's that going to do?

        helps you dodge DMCA takedowns. Lots of people pick a main server, then a backup server on a different backbone normally with a block account you only need to pay for when it needs topping up.

        • What has DMCA takedowns got to do with backbones though?

          @Diji1:

          In the good ol' days, EU backbones weren't susceptible to DMCA takedowns. Whether this is the case now I don't know. Having said that I haven't had any issues with NGD which apparently is on the UNS HOLDINGS backbone. Yes, a U.S. backbone. Go figure.

          I believe it was around ~2012 that the scrambling of posts occurred to circumvent these filters.

          Why would this be an issue? Piracy is a crime, mkay?? Well it's also been reported these auto takedowns to produce false negatives.

          @Diji1: That's where the takedowns usually happen, then all of the downstream resellers get affected.

          Backbone refers to the tier 1 usenet servers, the big boys that sync and store the entire usenet (to certain retention limits).

          At this point I'm not sure if you are interested, or just winding me up :) So look at r/usenet for more information.

  • 1100 days contention? That's a long time to hang on to a bone.

    • Good to see you have edited it to now say retention. :)

      • Site says 1600 days anyway.
