Usenetserver retention 100+??

[knight76]

Usenetserver claims 100+ days retention but I recently tried downloading a few things that were around 90 days or so old and they did not complete.

I changed to 80 days and download several things fine. Has anybody had issues with the 100+ days claimed by usenetserver?

i guess their retention is actually 105 days +...well the oldest i tried was a 101 days old nzb which worked well

For some groups they have a 105 day retention, for example a.b.multimedia
But for the group a.b.hdtv.x264 the retention is no more than 30-35 days :( I tried downloading a couple of 1080p Movies, they weren't "there" anymore. I guess the traffic is killing them...

Edit: Well now I'm downloading a file form a.b.hdtv.x264 that is 85 days old....go figure :ermm:

I use Usenetserver and I do not recall ever having any problems with files that were under 100 days old, even if they were in the 90s.

No shit? :dry:

Go back and read the fine print and see what it says.

Also give tech support a complaint and see what happens.

Though I must say, this is just one more reason to use Giganews.

I'm guessing that you went for one of the package deals where u pay for so many months in advance, in which case the retention is only 80 days. If you are paying month by month then it is 100 days.
