Binary Newsgroup Retention Growing to 90 Days at Giganews

September 2, 2010 | Author: admin

Austin, TX (PRWEB) September 23, 2006

Giganews, Inc. announced today a storage increase for single and multi-part binary newsgroups. Over the next few weeks, retention in these newsgroups will start to grow to an unprecedented 90 days. Giganews’ current binary newsgroup retention of 70 days will increase day by day as the additional storage starts to fill with new articles.

Thanks to a significant increase in the storage capacity of Giganews’ US and European Usenet clusters Giganews will be able to keep pace with the ever increasing Usenet posting volume.

Typically it is a struggle for a newsgroup provider to simply upgrade storage often enough to keep pace with the growth of Usenet. Giganews has continued to lead by not only keeping pace with Usenet, but by constantly raising the bar for the Usenet industry in terms of retention, completion and reliability.

This announcement marks the fifth such storage upgrade at Giganews this year.

“Giganews is dedicated to providing a reliable service that goes above and beyond what users expect from a typical Usenet provider. Keeping up with increasing Usenet traffic is a challenge we face every day. Our strategy has always been to continue to lead the premium Usenet industry with proactive service upgrades such as our latest storage increase,” said Jonah Yokubaitis, Giganews CEO.

No configuration changes are necessary for Giganews customers to enjoy the increasing newsgroup retention levels. All binary newsgroups will continue to grow as Giganews’ storage is filled. The end result will be approximately 90 days of retention in the binary Usenet hierarchy.

Because Giganews does not expire articles in text newsgroups, retention of text newsgroups is currently over 1,150 days and grows day by day.

Customers of Giganews can check the retention level of any newsgroup by visiting http://www.giganews.com/newsgroup_search.html

Best Usenet Server

The best Usenet service for any individual will generally depend on how they intend to use the service. If one intends to do a lot of file downloading, for instance, they will likely need a pay service that offers long archive times and access to any and every file uploaded. If a user only wishes to participate in discussions, they may be able to get away with using a free service provided by a university or other non-profit institution. If a user only needs technical information, there are corporate options available that can cater to these needs.

The best Usenet service for those who wish to download files is one which keeps their posts available for a long interval after they’ve been added to the newsgroup. Obviously, not every user is going to log on every day and they may miss out on a file they very much wanted if their server deletes it too quickly. Newsgroup servers operated by ISPs oftentimes have short storage intervals and, for these users, subscribing to a third-party service is usually the best bet. There are many such services available online and most of them are very affordable.

For users who like to chat, the best Usenet service need not have attachments or long archive times among its services. Universities offer such services for free to anyone. These are excellent for those who love a spirited debate with intelligent individuals. There will generally be no binaries available on these services as the bandwidth requirements would make it impossible for the institution to keep the service alive and available. However, because Usenet users can be very helpful to one another, there’s a good chance anyone on these newsgroups will be more than willing to either exchange files by other means or to point a lost user in the right direction.

Corporate newsgroup servers are among the best Usenet service options for technicians and for those who simply have an expansive interest in technology. These servers usually store their posts for a very long time making even older information for technology and products that are past their prime easily-accessible. These services are free, in most cases, and can be accessed by any newsreader software. Some of them do include binaries among their content, particularly patches and fixes for software which is discussed within the various newsgroups.

One’s Internet Service Provider may offer access to newsgroups but this may well not be the best Usenet service for many users. These services are oftentimes offered as something of an auxiliary service and not maintained as well as the servers offered by companies that offer newsgroup access as their main service. There may be problems with incompletes and the message archive time is sometimes very short. For very dedicated users, it’s usually best to pay a bit for a service which is reliable and whose services are tailored to enthusiasts. The amount of files that may be downloaded usually offsets the price in short order.

Usenet Newsgroups Tutorial Basics

Usenet Newsgroups Tutorial Basics

Usenet is a universal distributed Internet discussion system. It evolved from the general purpose UUCP architecture of that same name.

Duke University graduate students Tom Truscott and also Jim Ellis conceived that idea in 1979 and it was established in 1980.Customers read and also post public messages (called articles or posts, and also collectively termed news) to one or more categories, known as newsgroups. Usenet resembles bulletin board systems (BBS) in most respects, and also will be that precursor to the various Internet forums that are widely used today; and also can be superficially regarded as a hybrid between e-mail and web discussion boards. Discussions are threaded, with modern news reader software, as with web forums and also BBSes, though posts are stored on the server sequentially.

One notable major difference between a BBS or web forum and also Usenet is the absence of a central server and also dedicated administrator. Usenet will be distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another. These hosts are loosely connected in a variable mesh. This is similar to that complex transportation plan of a city. There are multiple ways to get to any point in that city. If one of those ways is blocked, for some reason, there’s always another avenue to be found to get there. In this manner, that User Network or Usenet allows newsgroup postings to reach their many destinations robustly. Individual customers may read messages from and post messages to a local server operated by their Internet service provider, university or employer. The servers then exchange the messages among one another, making that messages available to readers beyond the original server.

How do ISPs make any money off their usenet service? Why dont they just discontinue?

Best answer:

Answer by Glenn N
Some ISPs have stopped offereing usenet access. But usenet is not controlled by the ISP. They can or cannot offer a connection to it and space for you to add to it. I know many people that use it a lot. so it is still a selling pont for many people. These also tend to be heavy users.

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Among the operators and users of commercial Usenet news servers, common concerns are the continually increasing storage and network capacity requirements and their effects. Completion (the ability of a server to successfully receive all traffic), retention (the amount of time articles are made available to readers) and overall system performance are the topics of frequent discussion. With the increasing demands, it is common for the transit and reader server roles to be subdivided further into numbering, storage and front end systems. These server farms are continually monitored by both insiders and outsiders, and measurements of these characteristics are often used by consumers when choosing a commercial news service. End users often use the term “posting” to refer to a single message or file posted to Usenet. For articles containing plain text, this is synonymous with an article. For binary content such as pictures and files, it is often necessary to split the content among multiple articles. Typically through the use of numbered Subject: headers, the multiple-article postings are automatically reassembled into a single unit by the newsreader. Most servers do not distinguish between single and multiple-part postings, dealing only at the level of the individual component articles. Each news article contains a complete set of header lines, but in common use the term “headers” is also used when referring to the News Overview database. The overview is a list of the most frequently used headers, and additional information such as article sizes, typically retrieved by the client software using the NNTP XOVER command. Overviews make reading a newsgroup faster for both the client and server by eliminating the need to open each ind… More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1566407

The purpose of NewsServers.net is to help make sense of usenet through tutorials, free news server databases, community forums and much more.
