• What additional usenet provider would you use?

  I've been using usenet for ~10 months and so far have been using newsdemon as my primary provider backed up by a block from usenet.farm. However I've been getting poor completion on ebooks for example so this morning I signed up to eweka using a deal (search r/usenet) and I can't believe how good eweka is. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best news server for 10g speed

  Probably the usual suspects: eweka, newshosting, usenet.farm, blocknews, frugal. You may need more than one to achieve those speeds though, not to mention enough I/O to be able to handle it, and local network on point too. Source: almost 2 years ago

• apps that changed your life

  Usenet is good for older stuff if its available and for newer stuff because of the fast download speeds that can max my 1gbps fiber but its kinda of expensive and really hard to understand everything at first, you have to pay a news service I use nzbgeek.info then you need at least one usenet provider, I'm using eweka as my primary, bought a one year license for half the price and I have 1TB block in usenet.farm...

• 2022 Black Friday Deal Thread - Providers and Indexers

  My Eweka sub runs out in a month, worth switching to Frugal? Completion rate is 98% for the last 6 months on Eweka and usenet.farm free account has used 1.4GB in 1 year. Source: over 2 years ago

  I have a eweka subscription + a new usenet.farm block + a nearly gone blocknews block. Source: over 2 years ago

• Choosing secondary provider and indexer

  To help with those missing repair blocks instead of another Omicron provider. I think you can benefit from blocks on the usenet.farm or the usenetexpress backbone. I use a similar setup using a combination of these backbones along with tweaknews and have had a lot of success. Source: over 2 years ago

• 2022 Black Friday Deal Thread - Providers and Indexers

  Did I also made another mistake with getting Usenet.farm blocks since Frugal has an usenet.farm backup server in EU? Or their direct auto has longer retention? Source: over 2 years ago

• Download failure

  The only one I can think about is https://usenet.farm/ but then you are probably better off with this one, but then you have-to buy two of them https://www.eweka.nl/en/landing/special-usenet-deal , any way good luck to you. Source: over 2 years ago

• Additional block account, help wanted

  I have now added a usenet.farm account in addition to what I have and I plan to be on the lookout for additional blocks further on (read Black Friday). Most of the data I pull is fresh so I don't get that many failures, but it does happen, especially with some of the older releases, and this is what I wish to reduce. Source: over 2 years ago

• downloaded 4 files now, and not 1 has been completed successfully

  Then you can give usenet.farm a try out you can try the frist 10 gb the buy a block or 2. Source: over 2 years ago

• Looking to dump usenetserver after 12+ years... multiple IP issues

  A Google search will give you the info that you need but to save you the effort https://usenet.farm/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Relatively new to usenet, renewal coming up. What is recommended moving forward?

  I see that Frugal comes with block news. How does it get usenet.farm, is that the bonus EU server? Source: almost 3 years ago

• Supernews is not so super

  Dropped them recently as well. Atrocious speeds and too much DMCAed content. Currently using usenet.farm, eweka kept on banning me due to my dynamic IP and their support was beyond rubbish. Source: about 3 years ago

• After 21 years I finally cancelled Giganews!

  Usenet.farm but only bought two months... Fully willing to try all suggestions! I would imagine you guys know a lot more about the good providers since I've been stuck with GN... I feel like I just got divorced! (in a good way!) lol. Source: about 3 years ago

• Provider pairings for Eweka?

  So today after reading about the subreddit, I've signed up for Eweka using the cheap deal linked in the sidebar. My usenet.farm block account still has a while to run and is paid for so I might as well leave that on for now. The question is what I do going forwards. I will probably ditch usenet.net as its not particularly cheap (its just on a rolling monthly payment currently). But what do I replace it with? Source: about 3 years ago

• Usenet for beginners

  That's why most people will have a second block account from another backbone that might have the article (Check the provider map). If your provider is newshosting you have the same backbone as me with newsgroup.ninja, you could use usenet.farm since it's a different backbone they might have different articles. (They probably have a big discount for black friday). Source: over 3 years ago

• 2021 Black Friday Deal Thread - Confirmed Deals

  I have a tons of space and am looking for back history so is something like Ninja going to be able to fill more obscure things than Frugal? Ninja (omnicron 4500+) and UsenetPrime (UNE 3000+) is two backbones, but from what I gather they are both DMCA. So is that where Frugal becomes crucial as it has usenet.farm NAT?

• Using Eweka and Newsdemon unlimited - What block account works best?

  Got the same setup for another 12 months, still some downloads tend to fail. But only using nzbfinder/simplynzb as indexer, trying for a while to come in to dognzb or ds but still the consumer in me looks out for a good deal on either abavia backbone if not I'm going for the viper deal, also I hope usenet.farm comes with a good deal on BF.

• Another Pre-BF: can I get a setup check?

  The next is, if you have DMCA provider it is better you also have NTD provider, which you already do. Newshosting DMCA and usenet.farm is NTD. Source: over 3 years ago
