Re: best newshosting around
Giganews ftw!
Used them for 2 years. Never had down time and maxed out all the 4 different ISP's I have been with.
Re: best newshosting around
I use giganews too. A lot of the stuff I DL is older than 100 days, so usenetserver wouldn't cut it. I have the diamond package too so all data traffic is encrypted with 256 bit ssl. It gives me piece of mind for $5 / month extra and doesn't slow the speed one bit. Actually, My theoretical download speed according to my isp is 6mbps, but i consistently get 6.5mbps with giganews. Will completely max out your connection guaranteed.
And as mentioned before, completion is top notch!

Giganews :)
http://usenet-news.net/ for block accounts.
Re: best newshosting around
i've been using Giganews since '02 and have been a loyal fan all this time. i use seperate providers though for uploading content, Giganews will block your account if some one reports you; it's happened to me before. But they do have the best retention, speed, and to me, $30 a month is nothing compared to what i'm accessing.
Good luck with your choice.
