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

    • IVI on 13/02/2016 - 13:56

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

      • PainToad on 13/02/2016 - 15:38

        Nothing. Keep using your torrents.

  • chingy213 on 12/02/2016 - 21:46

    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

    • Diji1 on 13/02/2016 - 00:04

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

      • IVI on 13/02/2016 - 14:00

        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.

          I agree.. its a complete waste of money and you should not bother looking into it any further

      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

      Usenet no longer exists. Nothing to see here. Look else where please.

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

    i rate these guys as #1 of that lot.

  • Matt88 on 12/02/2016 - 23:15

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

    • Matt88 on 13/02/2016 - 12:01

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

  • Diji1 on 13/02/2016 - 00:05

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

    • Savabuck on 13/02/2016 - 00:10

      Who are you with?

  • vinhlong on 13/02/2016 - 01:54

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

    • solpiry on 13/02/2016 - 13:18

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

  • RedSky on 13/02/2016 - 05:35

    But is it free range?

      No, but it is halal…

  • [Deactivated] on 13/02/2016 - 09:22

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

    Any idea who their backbone provider is?

    • Cozza38 on 14/02/2016 - 19:57

      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.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/02/2016 - 20:15

        Cheers, 500Gb can't hurt.

        • Cozza38 on 15/02/2016 - 10:00

          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.
