Free binaries at cheapernews.com this week

We just turned on a new bank of servers and are hoping to push 10-20 gigabits of test traffic this week. These servers have 200 days of articles, both binaries and text.

Please give us a hand by testing things out -

The server is:

stresstest.cheapernews.com

No username/password is required.

SSL is enabled and you should be able to make at least 20 connections per host.

Sorry, we don't support posting.

We may have a few few-minute outages during the course of the week as we try different server and/or load balancer configurations, but our plan is to keep the service up until and through July 4th.

I'm maxing out my 20mbps fios on this one.

EDIT: just noticed they charge $6/mos unlimited with 200 day retention/ssl ...not sure about quality but thats heck of a price.

Newbie, do not know how to use it.

Usenet and usenet.com are not the same thing.

Thanks! I'm so happy with this I signed up - that is an amazing price and service has been great so far.

Thanks OP. Getting same speeds as my normal provider. Might be a switch for me depending on how these next few days go.

The first rule of usenet...

anyway, nice deal if they can hold up to the traffic. I use an expensive site, but can get all I need. It's faster and easier than ripping and recoding my BR discs manually! (I should say that I browse a lot but have little time, and my choice provider both decodes/unpars/unrars/thumbnails all the binary groups, which is what makes it worth while)

Here is the site that got me started 3 years and 1.9TB ago.

Alt.binz is a great progy and worth the $21.23 for multi-site searching, RSS, and auto unRAR support. I have not used Bitorrent since I got "that email" from comcrap.

I currently pay through the nose for Giganews unlimited w/ SSL ($29.99) but have never had a problem and max out my 6mbps connection. $6.00 is pretty enticing though!

ive started using Bintube's usenet service at about $11 bucks a month. So far, so good and you get a great streaming program. with a consistent 1.2 megs per sec download speed, i am able to stream 720p movies.

Giganews is still the king, but its also one of the most expensive.

"usenet" is the uthopia where you can find anything...from a cheap porno, a pirate software to a formular to make an A-bomb.

And, yeah, it's free (after you paid for the subscription) !!!

ummm . . . WHAT IS THIS?!?
