the NHXL ones don't seem too bad, only 5 bucks more than usenetserver, how's their completion rate? everyone says 99% which is a lie.


98-99%. Probably the last 100 GBs or so I've downloaded have been 100% complete as well.


can I share my account? on usenetserver my gf used my account at the same time and they didn't care, giganews won't allow it.

When i had Newshosting, you could be 2 on teh account at the same time, but i remeber getting an email from newshosting saying that if they see different IPs using the same account, the account will be canceled

I share my account. At first I received an email about it, but I sent one back saying screw you I use my account at home and work. They never send anything back and I've been sharing it even since. We don't use any more than the max # of connections allowed but I'm not sure if that affects it or just wouldn't work if we tried.

i wish ppl didnt know about usenet Sad


My room old room mate and i have decided to never tell anyone else about usenet. If people ask us how we get movies and such, we just say. Its quite complicated, you should just try torrents. If we can keep the majority of users on torrents, usenet may survive.

RS premium + private torrent trackers + IRC are more than enough for me.
As I have already gloated about this, nobody is safe now from copyrighters. Usenet junkies beware, you thought, they won't come to you, you thought, they are only after dumb p2p-ers. Get your shit too, suckers Twisted Evil

nothing is 100 % safe. the point is, what chances do you have to get sued for using RS for downloading copyrighted material. How many other people were sued for getting copyrighted stuff from RS?
Thou I do understand one day, RS will face its destiny Laughing

dont forget its a faceless corp not a person.. when you talk about 'them' its probably just guys like us doing their jobs, hell they probably download shit too Laughing

Just hope you arent one of the unlucky ones I guess..

RS is pretty sufficient for me too. I rarely use anything else now, I was never a big fan of torrenting anyways..

I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier. I don't why everyone bangs on about usenet being so great, IMO it's the most dangerous and weak system there is. Most people pay with their credit cards so they have access to your details very easily. And do you think a company will ignore a subpoena and risk losing the business, or will they just offer up some sacrificial lambs? The only thing driving it is people's egos so there is not much incentive for people to keep uploading under threats like this (unless they are secretly getting paid by usenext or whoever).


not to mention that a business-modell that works on making money out of illegal downloads is bound to be targeted sooner or later anyways

Public torrent sites are safer than usenet. The reason being the pure ammount of users on public torrent sites, you have more chance of being struck by lightning than being picked the needle from the haystack.

Im glad I use neither. People who think they are safe and/because they pay for a service to get something for free (lol) are idiots anyway.

And no, before some smartass comes out with 'watergem, you uz rapidsharz so tht meens u payt for free stuuffs too! you just calld urself an idiot!!11'

.... I get my account for free from a 'friend' Smile and also my usenet acc which gets used possibly once a year..
