Giganews has completed its third significant storage upgrade of the year which will increase binary retention day by day through the end of the summer to 200 days! Giganews continues to hold text newsgroup articles indefinitely and as a result Giganews' retention in text newsgroups is well over 1400 days.

This latest upgrade comes just two months after Giganews announced 120 day retention in binary groups and only four months after Giganews announced 100 day retention in binary newsgroups.

"This recent push to 200 days retention fits into our normal cycle of perpetual upgrades. Traditionally we haven't increased retention by as large a margin as we are during this current upgrade; however, we have decided to accelerate our upgrade cycle so that we can continue to lead Usenet and provide more value for our customers. By nearly doubling our storage capacity Giganews is investing in our service so our customers can continue to enjoy the best Usenet experience possible." said David Vogelpohl, Giganews' Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

This retention upgrade follows closely after a series of additional security offerings, utility releases, and other value additions to the Giganews service.
Encrypted Usenet Access

In late 2006, Giganews deployed 256-Bit SSL Encrypted Usenet Access over port 563, which was quickly expanded to offer support over port 443. 256-Bit SSL encryption allows Giganews customers to browse and download headers and articles in a private, secure, and anonymous environment with similar performance they would expect from an unsecured connection. Encrypted Usenet access is included with all Diamond accounts and can be added as an upgrade to all other accounts.
Retention

Thanks to Giganews' recent upgrade, binary article retention will grow from 120 days to 200 days over the coming weeks. Customers will not need to make any configuration changes to enjoy increased retention.

By the end of september our newsservers will have a binary retention of 200 days. Currently this is 120 days. Text retention is currenlty at 1400 days. Please use following servers from now on in your configurations. Users who do not need binary groups can use textnews.dommel.be. Users who do want to connect to binary groups need to continue connecting to news.dommel.be. Please note that from now on, the only binary newsclient that we officially continue to support is newsleecher (http://www.newsleecher.com). This client has been tested and is fully compatible with the 'dynamic limits' setup that we use on our servers.

Wat zijn de snelheden die jullie er gemiddeld mee halen? Ik weet dat ze maar 100K of zo garanderen.
Heb nu Astraweb, en zit binnen een paar dagen bij Dommel. Ik vraag mij af of ik ook Astraweb zou moeten afzeggen. Vind snelheid wel belangrijk.

Dit komt toch echt wel ziek :P (en onnodig?)

@frankv: zoals hier al vele malen vermeld geweest is, hangt de snelheid enorm af van het aantal gebruikers op dat moment. Als ik moet afgaan op mijn ervaringen met de server dan haal ik minstens een goede 200kb/s (meestal tijdens happy hours) en buiten de happy hours toch meestal wel 350-400kb/s

De topsnelheid haal je tijdens de happy hours niet met de dommel newsserver.
Gewoonlijk blijf ik ook steken op 200Kb/s.
Via pfcorner heb je voor 30€ per jaar een 'not in prime time' server.
Misschien niet de beste newsserver die ik ooit heb gezien(maar zeker niet slecht) maar als aanvulling op de dommel server in mijn ogen ideaal.
