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)

    great company..

    small typo should be 25 connections not 20.

    • SBOB on 19/11/2016 - 07:08

      Thanks.. Fixed

  • redcreek200 on 18/11/2016 - 22:56

    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.

    • addict on 18/11/2016 - 22:59

      what is the provider?

      • redcreek200 on 18/11/2016 - 23:00

        newsdemon

        • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2016 - 08:54

          you get video & audio content older then 3yrs? that's pretty good. do you have your own indexer?

        • redcreek200 on 19/11/2016 - 09:50

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

    • SBOB on 19/11/2016 - 07:09

      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

  • Vladdo on 18/11/2016 - 22:57

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

    • redcreek200 on 18/11/2016 - 23:02

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

      • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2016 - 09:07

        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.

        yes very good point…

        I use these guys with astraweb block account and that free 2mbit xsusenet service for anything those two dont have

      • redcreek200 on 19/11/2016 - 00:20

        Often the reposts don't.

      • decr on 19/11/2016 - 07:55

        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.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2016 - 09:25

          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.

  • marquise on 19/11/2016 - 00:21

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

    • SBOB on 19/11/2016 - 07:11

      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

      • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2016 - 09:41

        yeah usenet.farm has been surprisingly good.

  • motlking on 19/11/2016 - 06:27

    What are the best sites now to get content? Feel free to PM me if you don't want it posted ;)

      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

    "linux distro downloads" ;)

      Yep, got to keep up to date in the latest distros…

      • marquise on 20/11/2016 - 00:33

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

  • MdMa7 on 25/11/2016 - 20:13

    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.
