Why not use " Just for today.net " it's totally free and has no size limit and I get about 500kbs speed which I think is decent for a free server. I have downloaded things much older than 1000 days as well. I also have an account with XS news but I don't think they are free anymore and anyway " justfortoday.net " is faster.
Some of us Usenet freeloaders already have both in our arsenals. :)Quote:

As backup, I have XS Usenet and Just4Today, in that order (too lazy to fetch a new login every day :blushing:). XS's speeds suck, though. There's also IPv6-tunnel servers, which I personally haven't tinkered with so far, but hear good things about. If you want to try that, there's plenty of documentation in this forum.
just4today's retention is 10 days approx. You sure about those 1000+ days ? :ermm:Quote:

I know the website states the retention is 10 days, but there has been hardly any NZB I haven't been able to download, unless it was extremely old like 1300 or 1400 days, and I haven't had hardly any incomplete files.Quote:
