Hi All

From their email:

We’re providing our valued block customers with unlimited usenet access during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who is This For?
Our free access is available for current NGD block customers. Current unlimited customers should continue to use the existing servers.

How to Access Free Usenet
The only thing you’ll have to change in your configuration is your NNTP address. You’ll need to connect to covid.newsgroupdirect.com with your existing username and password. Everything else will stay the same.

    What, no enticing image? c.f. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/531676

      Different provider

      • chrism238 on 18/04/2020 - 16:55

        Yes; hence why competition for my eyeballs is important!

          I misread the image which enticed me to click on it.

    What does it mean? Downloads not counted during the pandemic?

      Buy a 1TB block account for $7
      “ Free Unlimited Newsgroup Access”
      Ie: your downloads won’t count against your 1TB block during the pandemic, but will afterwards
      PS: I have been a member for 7 years and the block accounts don’t expire

      • nfr on 18/04/2020 - 17:40

        What are their speeds like?

    SSL not currently working for me on the covid server although non-SSL is fine.

    SSL connections working fine on their non-covid servers.

        Thanks, I'll contact their support.

    Anyone got an invite for Slug or Dog?

    Thanks in advance :)

    • mnc on 19/04/2020 - 23:26

      I have been looking for the same, if someone could give me an invite to slug/dog would be appreciated. Cheers

    • PAEz on 20/04/2020 - 11:24

      When you say slug, do you mean DrunkenSlug?
      If so I dont have any invites but I do have an account I dont care about (never had a need for it, just sign up to everything).
      So if you dont mind you name being PAEz (dont look like i can change it) then pm me an email and password (you can change it once you log in) and Ill change over the details.
      Whichever of you two that pms first gets it.

        Gone, someone asked for it.

    1TB Block showing as $70 now. Is this expired or is there a page I should be looking for?

    EDIT: For anyone else looking, it seems like they're no longer doing the $7 for 1TB but they're doing $13 for 2TB here.
