    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.

    Would be cool if the free file size wasn't so small, what you going to do with 500MB? Forget the pay option prices are way out there

    Were you restricting your nzb to 500 MB of the data's file size? It's listed as one of their restrictions.
    Yea.

    You can't use two servers at once...can you ? I have never found the need for a second server for " filler " like some people say, to get incomplete files, but yes I have two as well, but I find myself using " justfortoday.net " because of the speed and lack of restrictions, but please tell me if I am off track.

    Never did it, but I've read in this section that it's possible.

    My main free server is Binload, which is just fine for my casual usage - good speeds, enough retention, never had a corrupted or incomplete download so far. Sadly, they've disabled new signups for some time now. I was fortunate enough to get in before that.

    As backup, I have XS Usenet and Just4Today, in that order (too lazy to fetch a new login every day ). 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 ?

    Yes I am completely sure. I have recently downloaded several files between 700mg - 2.0 gigs that were hundreds of days old, and yes, a couple were over 900 days old. 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.
