I have been using Supernews and it's been solid

I have been using SuperNews as well, with no complaints.

Tweaknews is pretty good and they have a free trial and 1100 days retention.

Im using frugal usenet. Low retention 300 days but i grab soon as. Cheap and cheerful and don't seem to have as many missing parts as astraweb.

frugal works good 4 me 2

Still on astra despite the worries about takedowns last year. It was pretty bad for a while but recently I've had no issues with anything, really.

Hi,

I'm still using Giganews Diamond package : Mimo Usenet Browser + Search, Dump Truck Online Storage, VyprVPN Personal VPN.
Never had a problem in 5 years.

My only complaint with Tweaknews is the 1000 days of retention. I should probably switch to someone else who has more retention and just use them for fills.

Easynews is pretty good with decent retention. Astrweb is cheap but you cannot use a browser to peruse the newsgroup

Using supernews at the minute, well over 3500 days retention, stable, and cheap.

Which plan do you have? I have much worse experience with supernews. I've been using them for 2 years with the 9.99/month unlimited. Speed is good but binaries over 600 days have too many incomplete and not worth downloading.

Interesting thread. I've had news hosting for over six years and never considered switching. I might look into it now.
