    Not working for me. "Subscribe now" button does nothing.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/09/2011 - 09:32

      Same here. Subscribe button disables once you click it but nothing loads.

  • Timski on 27/09/2011 - 08:39

    Surprised you're allowed to have deals like this?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 27/09/2011 - 08:52

      Why?

    • PainToad on 27/09/2011 - 09:48

      Do you even know what UseNet is? Nothing illegal about it at all. Like saying ISP deals should be banned because people could possible use their service to download something illegal.

      • phoenix17 on 27/09/2011 - 14:53

        Usenet isn't illegal. It's the content. It's like saying torrent applications are 'illegal'.

    Keen to get an account for a dedicated SabNZBd+ and Sickbeard box.

    Hmmm not sure Usenet is as useful as it once was for me - I find filestube.com very handy…

    Still if this were free I'd grab an account….

    • PainToad on 27/09/2011 - 09:49

      Then your not using a decent indexer, nzbs.org

      • carlenet on 27/09/2011 - 10:01

        Nzbmatrix is very good too.

        • PainToad on 27/09/2011 - 10:03

          That place is a horriable mess imo sorry.

        • carlenet on 27/09/2011 - 10:33

          Good if a VIP. :)

          Also nzbs.org isn't taking any new registrations hence can't check it out!? :(

  • lawesomes on 27/09/2011 - 08:53

    damn suspended by the time I got here :(

  • goamax on 27/09/2011 - 08:57

    Got onboard yesterday signing up as Netherlands, using for fills as astraweb our main connect.

  • Alzori on 27/09/2011 - 09:56

    "Every day this amount grows with more then 9 terabyte. At XS Usenet u profit from over 600 days of retention."

    I'm hoping the spelling/grammar is from an average translation from Dutch or something, but the site seems a little dodgy to me.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/09/2011 - 10:54

    the question is, why is it free? the $100 annual fee for the premium account is ok if you're a very heavy user. Personally I find the block accounts like www.usenet-news.net where for similar money you get 1TB of non-expiring downloads.

  • salem on 27/09/2011 - 11:01

    Damnit. I've been meaning to have a go at getting usenet set up for a while now.

  • ccrap on 27/09/2011 - 11:04

    Drats - hope this offer comes back.

  • harthagan on 27/09/2011 - 18:35

    I'm done with usenet. Every time I try to download a movie I end up with a german or french audio version. There are no descriptions or details available to even know what language u are getting the movie in. Happens at least 50% of the time over a sample of 30 movies. I use NZBclub and Binsearch - if any1 knows of better index sites which are free I would love to try it out. There is no way I am paying for using an index site - i would prefer to stick with torrents than that.

  • bitslave on 28/09/2011 - 00:08

    mmmmm, honey.

    • ccrap on 28/09/2011 - 01:41

      yes babe?

      LOL, more seriously though, this just in so try again tomorrow morning:

      September 27 2011, 11:37 AM CET

      • POWERevolution on 28/09/2011 - 03:12

        ahhh! I want to sleep but don't want to miss out on this deal
        darn Adam only give free 20GB newsgroup.

        • aacheney on 29/09/2011 - 07:59

          They have change there system it is know just a free 30day account and lots of people have had there accounts deleted for no reason.

        • Hintswen on 29/09/2011 - 08:28

          Where does it say it's only 30 days?

  • lawesomes on 29/09/2011 - 09:32

    Sign ups are on again, but as the website says now its only free for 30 days.

    BL :(

    • lawesomes on 29/09/2011 - 09:35

      actually bump, not sure. Some parts of the website says it forever but the front page says 30days…

    • doormatt1 on 29/09/2011 - 09:36

      I successfully created an account, haven't tested it yet. Where did you read that it is only free for 30 days? On the subscribe page it clearly says "Special: We are offering 1Mbit accounts for free (never expires)!".

      • aacheney on 29/09/2011 - 11:04

        Has anyone had any luck getting this to work?

      • lawesomes on 29/09/2011 - 11:32

        If you go:
        http://www.xsusenet.com/en/#1

        The table comparing free and premium has "Valid for 30 days"

        • ccrap on 29/09/2011 - 13:35

          yeah but that same table now says 10mbit instead of 1mbit.

  • club_dero on 29/09/2011 - 13:33

    working on port 119 - really slow; I was only getting a couple kbps so I deleted - could be the servers they are using are overwhelmed

    try again in a few weeks

    • lawesomes on 29/09/2011 - 19:21

      I don't think it will ever be very fast, after all its just 1mbit

  • kiwipride on 29/09/2011 - 14:05

    Any free usenet browsers? Grabit is not free. Only allows 2 downloads lol.

  • ccrap on 30/09/2011 - 14:38

    Can anyone who got this after the registrations opened again confirm if it is free for lifetime @ 1mbps (as per big title on website) or free for 30 days @ 10mbps (as per comparison box below big title)?

    • aacheney on 30/09/2011 - 15:02

      well the speed I test this out was not 10mbps so I would say it is 1mbps.

      • ccrap on 30/09/2011 - 15:15

        Cool, thanks for that. Did it say anything about expiry?

        • aacheney on 30/09/2011 - 15:56

          no, but the speed is clearly only 1mbps

  • kiwipride on 30/09/2011 - 15:03

    ….and this is why no ones cares about usenet lol.

  • aacheney on 01/10/2011 - 01:09

    My Account has been removed no contact from them.

    when I try and recover the password I get
    "Uw emailadres komt niet voor in onze database." meaning
    Your email address does not exist in our database.

    When I try and create a new account I get
    Error
    There is a maximum of 1 account per user. You don't have an account yet? Then contact our supportdesk.

    So it looks like they will just delete your account anyway.
