Free Newsserver

just thought members here would like to try a free newsserver,i have been using this for about 9+ months and used it to download hundreds of gigs worth of binaries etc

Newsserver address:freebin.readnews.com
Server Login:Any ( it does not require a login as such just put anything )
Server Password Any ( Again anything will do )

you can get about 4 concurrent connections and download speed is good,retention is about 4-5days but hey its free ,i have given this server to a number of my friends and they have not had a problem using it,it seems to support a fair few newsgroups,not sure how many but not had a problem with getting things from them so dont seem like a problem

ENJOY!

gonna try this out, thx dude :D

the max bandwidth is 25 KB/s .. not too good..but its free

lol. 25KB/s is waay to slow to download anything tho! but yeah, i guess free is free.

Its slow speed is made good use of by the best clients to automatically fill in completion holes in ISP news servers.

thanks but free ones dont provide good speeds even ISPs. :(

good stuff....something for the people new to newssevers to check out before thinking about premium access ie newshosting.

hehe must be your connection,im getting 40-60kps outta it always have :)

I've found this site http://www.sforum.nl/nntp/ there are list of free newsservers, click on Binaries on the top of site to select only binaries servers

nice...I'll that that as a slave server for fills

THX :)

--edit--

just thought of something, when you have use a pay service they always claim that they do not log what you download at that they have a privacy policy for the customers protection. When you add a free newserver you wont be covered with this protection.

Just something to think about.

thanx alot for such free news servers

guys check out sometimes newsgroup called alt.free.newsservers...even though there are a lot of spam but sometimes there are a piece of useful news

Safer than other means of downloading files, yet probably not as safe as a premium news server, you never know if those free guys keep logs or not...

It wasnt ment to really be a reliable server. Its supposed to be used as either a trial server or used together to fill in holes with others. Always remember this, "You get what you pay for"
