I can try and post something if you would like, as long as it isn't to large. Is there something that I can post in particular? I imagine you are trying to test something?
Anything you could post would be fine, even a simple .txt file. Just want to find something posted through usenetnow so I can try and figure out who they are reselling :P
It's ran by the same people at http://www.blocknews.net

The rep for both is swintec. You can contact him via Instant message him on dslreports.
I've been trying UsenetNow for a few days and have been able to download stuff over 200 days old. I think the real retention is closer to 210-215 days but UsenetNow only claim 185 days. Just be on the safe side I think.

The quote above is not me, I use another provider.
They are reselling a company called readnews.com, never heard of them before personally. I signed up for a trial account and made a couple test posts to find out for myself. Anyone have any experience with readnews? According to their site they have been in business for a few years but I cant seem to find anyone else selling their service besides usenetnow.
Thanks for that information, just double checked that and you are right. :)Quote:

They both have good prices, if anyone needs a new usenet server you should look into them.
Glad you found what you were looking for! Saves me from having to figure out how to post as it has been so long and i don't think I have ever done so with the news readers (or better yet, News Leechers!:P) of today.Quote:

Yeah both usenetnow and usenetmonster have alright prices. I might try usenetnow soon, want to see what its like. :)Quote:

I saw that they mentioned serving isps as customers but I wonder how many are left? AT&T, Comcast, Road Runner, etc have all dropped usenet access over the child porn scare. So they must have a lot of international clients or smaller isp's that still want this for their users. And supposedly readnews hasn't sold individual accounts since 2008 but I stumbled across a page on their site that offered me one. :)Quote:
