Which usenet site deletes the least?

easynews has been taking down a ton of files lately, are all the similar sites doing the same or are there some better ones out there? thanks in advance

i'm on there and there is a lot of stuff that shows up at binsearch but the files aren't on the easynews servers, example ufc 145 is listed on binsearch but can't get it from easynews

Tried downloading a number of these files(ufc 145) on supernews, found using binsearch. There is something strange going on for sure. 3 out of 5 are showing as damaged and the others are downloading but very slowly, any other files are as normal. Strange indeed.

at least you found them there, they are nowhere to be found on easynews servers.

and it is laughable cause if you email customer support they give you the "copyrighted material" lecture, funny they would not exist w/o these files in fact tell me something on usenet that is not technically "copyrighted"?????????

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have never had a problem with this until now. Batman Begins, Dark Knight......anything older than 1 day is gone. Is this a sign of things to come?

I use the Shemes.com servers. I rarely run into incompletes, retention is quite good, and speeds max my 50MB connection.

Code: Select All

Usenet content has definately been crippled.

I'm just going to cancel my NewsBin & Search subscriptions 'till I see if it improves.
