I had to use my Astraweb account for fills.

I e-mailed them, their response was slow, about 2 days late i think.

Still would give them a try - wanted to check if anyone else is subscribed]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22670324 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:29:14 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22663910 unoriginal :

I was going to sign up for this, but then Astraweb just posted their $96 deal and for a couple of dollars more you get Astraweb, SSL, server farms, retention etc.
They also seem to have a 1meg download speed limit on all of their accounts. I only have a measly 6meg dsl line and that would greatly impact how fast I could download.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22663910 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 20:50:17 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22663273 ironwalker : SSL didn't work here either by the way.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22663273 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:59:11 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22654073 Shamayim : With 20 connections going this downloads over twice as slow as my Astraweb account. Also, was unable to connect via SSL port 563 with the Unison reader.

Looks interesting, I like how Astraweb has driven down prices, usenet never used to be so competitive.

For years it was the same old pricing schemes and in a short span it has become much cheaper and retention is rising. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22638183 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:59:41 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637943 anon : Getting good speeds here. Looks like some nicely priced plans if you take into account the speed cap on plans.

For 4 bucks a month, I might buy in for a few months!

I tried SSL first, it didn't work.

I went back to normal and it worked. Getting really slow speeds though.

Not worth the 4 bucks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637881 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:33:37 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637298 blackriders : Thanks i'll give you guys a try right now]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637298 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:21:15 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636457 ironwalker : Thank you...mega fast and working fine, no corruptions.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636457 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:11:02 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635018 shudwein : thanks for the heads up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635018 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:27:33 EDT [Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22634406 DaBears57 :
said by CheaperNewsAdmin :
We just turned on a new bank of servers and are hoping to push 10-20
gigabits of test traffic this week. These servers have 200 days of
articles, both binaries and text.

Please give us a hand by testing things out -

The server is:

stresstest.cheapernews.com

No username/password is required.

SSL is enabled and you should be able to make at least 20 connections
per host.

Sorry, we don't support posting.

We may have a few few-minute outages during the course of the week as
we try different server and/or load balancer configurations, but our plan
is to keep the service up until and through July 4th.

Thanks for helping us out!
