Newshosting Spools to 910 days...

Just saw this, FYI newshosting is now at 910 days retention. I did some quick spot checks with 910 day old nzbs from nzbmatrix and everything completed

customer service just converted my 14.95 unlimited account to $9.99 for life...

Good God...can usenet get any cheaper :D

i'm wondering how they got 900 days retention so fast, just two months ago anything past 400 days was spotty at best and 600 days was the absolute oldest you could download even then there would almost never be enough repair blocks.

but sure enough i just completed a few files to test upto 908 days old perfectly no need to repair or anything.

They can probably fill it with articles from giganews or other servers. Giga is at 947 days.
