- Best ISP for News Server

Any ideas on which ISP has the best News SErver for binaries
- Posted by Paul C on June 9th, 2005
Hi
From what I hear you are best off going with an external provider, such as
Giganews. Claranet have their own (but still have to pay) but they have poor
retention (~2 days at present). Getting Tb of data a day is just too much
for ISP's to provide this free.

Griffin have binaries, but as the other guy says, they may not retain for
long

We provide a news feed with most of our ADSL accounts. Retention is
about 4.5 days.

There's been mention (though not yet implemented) of a 15 GB/month limit on
downloads from the news service. It is also available from other ISPs for
a small monthly fee (originally intended for users of BT Broadband, but the
restriction on users of other ISPs seems to have been dropped). Peter M.

Metronet uses Supernews and has a search facility to check for length of
retention (<http://www.supernews.com/stats/retention.cgi>). There's some
restriction on Metronet (to prevent heavy loading of the ADSL service, and
/or Supernews fees, perhaps) which means you cannot download at faster than
128 kbps [see posts in this newsgroup using <http://groups.google.com/> ).

You're probably better getting a separate subscription. Most ISPs
inhouse servers aren't great and those that outsource usually limit the
amount you can download, or the download speed.

I recently wanted to subscribe to a binary newsgroup, but had difficulty
finding a supplier who would accept a switch debit card instead of a cedit
card, because nearly all are in the states.
After a long trawl I found corenews who use worldpay and accept a wide rage
of payment types.
