Usenet is the world's largest online community. Each day, over 25 million users participate in Usenet's public newsgroups to share ideas, trade advice and conduct research. Newsgroups are publicly posted discussion forums that are accessed using newsreader software. Each of our servers stores over a terabyte of data allowing us to keep more articles, longer than any of our competitors. The average retention for binaries is 30 days and for other groups a tremendous 100 days.
Most newsreaders have a counter that indicate bytes downloaded.
Remember, it's the user's responsibility to track usage and stay within the parameters of the subscribed plan. We promise to keep your personal information private. Our servers have been configured to remove the X-Trace header, thereby removing where you posted from. Other users only get to see which server you posted to. We do keep a log of up-loaders for a period of 48 hours to track spammers.
