    I've used Newshosting.com for a few years now and been great, but at $14.95 I'm thinking I'd like to save a few dollars so when I saw the $9.99 banner up top for Supernews that caught my eye.

    Personally I've been downloading mainly movies and TV shows, so haven't had to many that are old retention, so 350 days should be good for me...

    But still thinking...

    With Newshosting you are buying from a Highwinds reseller. You could go with Usenetserver, also Highwinds, and get 500 days for $10/mo: https://accounts.usenetserver.com/special/

    Only downside is no EU server farm with this account.

    An Excerpt from: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
    by John Perry Barlow
    Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather [...] I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.

    He could've just been talking about supernews in general, which is significantly less than astraweb and GN.
