    Default newsgroups which ones are best at the min??

    hi

    i've been reading biggy7's guide in the newsgroups forum and its very good, its just it was done around 6 months ago, so are the recommendations he made then still valid with 360 games or has another cserver and client become more popular now??

    what are you guys using now??

    cheers for your time

    any good server hosts the same ans any other. Files are hosted in groups which are covered by service providers. I recommend NewsHosting.com for cheap, reliable, fast as your 'net connection (well maxes out 10mb cable at least) and 45-60 day retention (length of files hosted).

    any other info check slycks guide to newsgroups.

    Edit: there's loads of info, search for it.

    Giganews if you are willing to pay a bit more for unlimited account, plus Newsleecher and their great Super Search Service.

    Get an account with newshosting, you’ll max out your connection and they have excellent retention. With NZB files you don't need to continually check groups for posts just use newsbin.com or binsearch.info to find what you want, create a NZB file then load it into Newsleecher, job done.

    I use giganews with newsbin pro and never have a problem. Giga is a bit more expensive than other newshosts but the 70 day binary retension is spot on and is increasing to 90 over the next couple of weeks

    I use Easynews as well, although there has been a problem with some files not always showing up ie: missing when using the HTTP front end, using the NNTP feed no problem .. but I am loking to use something else as Easynews costs me $9.99 which is fine for 20 gigs .. however my bank .. CHARGE ME £1.50 every time I rebuy gigs which is every few days in a month this adds up .. I have 10mb cable service so can anybody point me in the right direction for maxing out my speed and if possible unlimited per month fee ...

    Thanks
