I've been using this one on a daily basis.
This service is already quite popular, but this thread could help those that don't know about it.
zot posted another free server that's faster and more permissive in terms of retention and connections, but it appears it makes up for that with reduced stability - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
the speeds used to be so good, but they really dropped since I started using it. Still speeds up my download speed when used in conjunction with my ISPs newsserver.
if you dudes did enough searching you'd find some really, really fast free servers with as much retention as giganews. Id rather not post them and have them leeched to death, just do some searching. Im not talkin about that test one posted here even though that one is nice just doesn't have much retention.
how about a PM. :)
As have I. It's been a great and reliable server for many months now.Quote:

No, you shouldn't. People should do some kind of effort to get their files, instead of relying on others to get what they want.Quote:

@disme i've had you on ignore since you first started trolling me and your the reason i dont post the 'holy grail' server details here. Ill give it to that dude with the stallone avy and the admins but thats it.

Besides a couple of things snatched from Hdbits and BCG, I've been out of torrenting for around an year.
About disclosing your "secret", I guess if I were on your shoes it would depend of a couple of factors. First, how hard was it to find and second, what are my personal expectations on how long will it last.
I won't deny it, I'm as curious as everyone else here, but it in the end, it's your call, and whatever you decide to do, there's a valid reason to sustain that judgement.
You come to a filesharing-board and continuously insult people using certain filesharing-methods. I don't like that attitude and decided to react to it. That's far from trolling! :rolleyes:Quote:

Would one of these "really, really fast free servers" be that 5gig/10day trial account you posted earlier today?Quote:

The fourth server he uses is news.readfreenews.com. Lulz, secret revealed.
OR PERHAPS NOT! People, keep digging!
yes it is how did you guess, damn i guess the secret is out. dang it, but at least the topic can die in peace.
omfg i fail
giganews has 799 days retention while news.readfreenews.com has only 160 days hmm.Quote:

w/e makes you feel better
They also operate a server with more retention (40 days), more connections (10) at a very affordable price of 5 EUR/month or 25 EUR/year at budgetnews.net
Not too shabby. Thanks for bringing that up tech. If this 10 day free server ever dies, and that deal remains I'll probably go ahead and grab it. An extremely small price yearly to grab everything fairly new.
yeah if only downloading 0day stuff it seems very good - I am thinking to get it as a spare accountQuote:

Indeed and no ssl
I wonder if there are any other really cheap providers like this around too (even if retention is limited)
