But Nouseforaname are they as "stable" as giganews?

and what about retention?


Well ... you occasionally have to rebuild files using the pars. The point of my post was that they were upping retention from 24 days to 40 days. Wink


Im an idiot Razz

anyway thanks for the reply although by paying only 14.95 for unlimited access... Then they still (unlike Giganews) Only have 4 connections. Though the fastest I will be downloading at in the future is 200 kb/s.

so I got a question:

would 4 connections give a nice transfer rate at 200kb/s?

I use my providers access, and a premium service (Giganews) for fills only. This i found to be the best for me, becasue i dont have to pay anything if im quick (ISP only has 24-36 hour retention,but about 90% + compleation) and with most good posts there is enough PAR2 files to fix everything.

I get 500 KB/s from my ISP, running only 2 connections Smile

I was trying (Spelling maybe wrong) yollata news servers, they have a free 1GB account that you can renew every month, and so far between my ISP and them i have had no problems.

i use newshosting and max out my line using 4 connections for a total of 1000-1175 kb/s so unless you have more then a 10 meg line you should be fine with just 4 connections

at least giganews implements the changes BEFORE announcing them Very Happy

Remember months ago newshosting claimed to be upping retention to 40 days, but were obviously full of shit Mad
