One of the services the team I run manage is an online backup platform for a few hundred thousand users that stores TBs of data, so I know what’s involved in terms of running large platforms that need a lot of storage and bandwidth. Or so I thought until Giganews announced that they are now storing 400 days worth of usenet posts.
Why is this amazing? Well Usenet services allow users to upload and download content loaded up by other users at lightning speeds, usually their full line speeds. I’m a Giganews user and I can download content at my full download speed of 50Mpbs 24/7. In fact, I usually use the Giganews service to do speed tests when I think my ISP connection is bad, their connection speeds are so good. With Giganews I can download files of say 4GB in size in 10 minutes! There are literally millions of files to choose from, and with Giganews now storing 400 days of content (‘retention’) the chances of me being able to find any file that I want are greatly increased.
Giganews’ packages are well priced and they even offer a 14-day free trial and 50% off your first two months of service so you got nothing to lose from giving the service a go. I can promise once you try, you will never use other methods for downloading content. It’s also 100% safe unlike other download methods as your activity can’t be monitored.
