cool, i just don't see where you are getting the information from that giganews is cheaper than newshosting? i agree newshosting's retention is around 30 days, and giganews is approaching 70. however, unlimited for newshosting is 14.95 and it is 24.95 for giganews. am i missing something?

Yes. I know this may sound dumb or not really like you want but if you had giganews unlimited every other month you could still get everything you wanted because their retention is now well over 60 days and rising everyday to 70 day and maybe even a little more at 71 day.
You can get everything you want one month. Have so much stuff that you may not even have enough time to get to it all before you get more stuff the next month from giganews.
Sure you may say I won't remember what I want next month or it will be to mind boggling because there so much stuff I need to catch up on. No problem you can always still add stuff just not get it yet intill you get giganews unlimited the next month!
Now when giganews gets up to 90 days + retention which doesn't seem to far from the future sense they are already going to 70 days which is amazing then you can get giganews ever 3 months and it will be a whole lot cheaper than easynews or newshosting!

Well thanks to this thread I got an account with Astraweb just because my days of hoarding data are behind me...specifically targeted stuff now, so the non-expiring account is perfect for me. 90 gigs for $25 right now.

that has got to be the worst reasoning to try and hide the fact that its still ten bucks more than most other unlimited accounts.

Me too. I do about 5 gigs a day. Though I like the retention, it can be annoying downloading 8 million headers at a time.

I routinely download between 300-400GB per month from Usenet.
Cool!
I have seen people download 600 to 700 GB easily.
Do you get to everything you download or delete a lot ?
