2011-07-05 22:02:51

Amazing as it is, all the big players are now WAY over the 1,000 days retention.

When will they stop no-one knows....  Biggest mover in the retention games has been Newshosting/UsenetServer having jumped ahead of astraweb by one day.

Site Update!

2011-02-16 22:26:51

We have been working on updating the sites backend code for the past few months.  The result is a fully re-coded back end (makes life much better for us!) and a new slick front end for the end user (YOU!)  We have plenty more updates due, but we just could not wait any longer to go live with the new site.  As always, any suggestions use any of the contact methods on site!

As you may notice we have lost all the ratings and user comments in the update.  We would like your help.  If you use or have used a provider please add a short comment and rating.  We are also adding a reviews section, you can submit a review on the relevent pages.

Giganews first to 800 days retention

By Lee in Usenet

2011-02-11 11:14:47

A little over a year and a half ago, we announced that we were going to be the first Usenet provider with a year's retention. We got to that year, and then just kept going. We hit two years a little while ago, and still kept going. Today, we've hit 800 days of binary Usenet retention -- and we're still going...

800 days is just a number, though. None of that retention matters if we don't also have good quality. For all 800 days, we have over 99% of the articles. On top of that, when we lose servers or disks, you don't see random articles disappear temporarily. In fact, most customers don't notice anything at all. Finally, our oldest, 800-day-old articles are stored on the same servers as our newest articles. If you want to fetch posts from 800 days ago, they'll download just as fast as posts that arrived today.

Our software and systems were designed years ago to handle this level of retention. Today, we hit 800 days of retention, but we're already ready for the next 800 days and beyond. Please enjoy the retention, and keep an eye out for new features we'll be rolling out in the coming months.

Retention rates still growing!!!

2011-02-11 11:14:31

Giganews how now passed the 550 days retention, with astraweb only a few days behind! We dont see this retention war stopping any time soon either, we will continue to update the retention of the providers. We just wonder how many TB's of data these providers hold now...

Giganews and Astraweb over 500 Days retention

By Lee in Usenet

2011-02-11 11:14:14

With both Giganews and Astraweb continuing to expand the retention beyond what everyone expected!, we have fully updated all the providers to the latest retention levels. We was quite surprised to find how many now have more than 400+ days retention.
The question is how much retention is needed? wasnt 365 Days enough???
