- PStamatiou 18y agoi pay $30/month for a high-end giganews account with 20 SSL connections.. simply put, it's fast, secure and maxes out my fiber line. as for free newsgroups, sometimes your ISP has usenet server access but naturally it's not very fast and binary retention is only but a few days, if at all.
- electromagnetic 18y agoMy ISP was slow, but its binary retention was still at 3 months. It wasn't good for any major downloading, but if you kept on top of your downloading it was easy to follow a half-dozen shows. Although the speed varied considerably, I downloaded Blade Runner in 720p in one day, and a 420p episode of Pushing Daisies in 3 days.
