Dump Truck Rebuilt - New Desktop, Mobile and Web Apps

2012-12-06T11:46:00.000-08:00

Last December, we announced our partnership with Golden Frog to provide free Dump Truck secure online storage to every Giganews member.

When we made Dump Truck available to Giganews members last year, the service included WebDAV access to your files and a basic Web App. Over the past year, Golden Frog listened to your comments and worked hard to improve the service based on your feedback.

Today, Dump Truck online storage gets even better with completely new Desktop apps, Mobile apps and rebuilt Web App so you can use Dump Truck on all of your devices.

After a year of non-stop development, the Dump Truck storage service now includes:

Windows and Mac Desktop applications to sync your files from your desktop to Dump Truck
Android and iOS Mobile apps to view and manage your files on the go. (iOS App pending App Store approval)
A completely redesigned and rebuilt Web App so you can use your web browser to access, upload and share files in your Dump Truck account

Don’t forget to use your Giganews username and password to access the Dump Truck Desktop apps, Mobile apps and Web App. 30 GB of Dump Truck is included free with every Diamond account and 5 GB of Dump Truck is included free with all other Giganews accounts.

Why use Dump Truck online storage?

It’s simple - you should choose Dump Truck for your storage needs because Golden Frog is more focused on security than other online storage providers. Golden Frog was founded to keep the Internet free and open while respecting user privacy and security. In 2009, Golden Frog launched VyprVPN Personal VPN to protect users' Internet connections and Dump Truck is their latest service focused on privacy and security.

Why is Dump Truck more secure?

When you upload your files to Dump Truck, Golden Frog the only company who handles your data so your privacy is protected and your security is ensured. Golden Frog doesn’t rely on 3rd parties to store your files. Similar to how Giganews operates its own Usenet clusters, Golden Frog owns the hard drives, servers and manages their own global network so they can keep your files secure.

They also store three copies of your files using 256-bit AES encryption to ensure you always have a secure and redundant copy. When you upload or download files from Dump Truck all data is encrypted using 256-bit SSL - the same encryption level used by financial institutions. Golden Frog also doesn’t use data deduplication to inspect your files to save on storage costs, nor will they ever display ads or analyze users’ files for marketing purposes. Like Giganews, Golden Frog respects users’ privacy and security and will never inspect your files.

2012-11-14T11:48:00.000-08:00

Windows 8 manual setup instructions for PPTP and L2TP/IPsec protocols are now available in our VyprVPN support area. For users using the OpenVPN protocol on Windows 8, please download VyprVPN Desktop.

Golden Frog also recently updated VyprVPN Desktop to include Windows 8 support. Golden Frog recommends that VyprVPN users skip the manual setup and download VyprVPN Desktop to switch freely between VyprVPN server locations and protocol with a single click.

However, if you prefer the manual setup, please visit our VyprVPN support page to view the Windows 8 manual setup instructions.

VyprVPN Desktop updated to Version 1.4

2012-11-01T11:52:00.000-07:00

Today, the Golden Frog Dev team updated VyprVPN Desktop. The 1.4 update includes Windows 8 support, minor bug fixes and an application name change. The application name is now "VyprVPN" and is no longer "VyprVPN for Giganews" so both Giganews and Golden Frog users can now use the same, unified application.

VyprVPN Desktop 1.4 update includes:

Support for Windows 8
Minor bug fixes
Name change to "VyprVPN"

You can apply this update directly within VyprVPN 1.3 or download VyprVPN 1.4 from the Golden Frog website.

VyprVPN is included free with every Diamond account and is also available as add-on service for non-Diamond accounts using the Giganews control panel.

Giganews Reaches 1,500 Days of Usenet Retention!

2012-09-13T12:17:00.000-07:00

We reached another Usenet milestone today! We are the first Usenet provider in the world to offer 1,500 days of binary Usenet retention. This translates to over 4 years of binary retention and over 8.5 years of text retention. Don’t worry - we aren’t stopping at 1,500 days and will continue to grow Usenet retention everyday.

Unlike other Usenet providers, we deliver the same speed and article completion across every day of Usenet retention across all 110,000 newsgroups. Our high quality newsgroup retention is a testament to the strength of our redundant infrastructure and our team's dedication to the Giganews service and its members.

We would also like to thank all of the Giganews members that have supported us over the years. We would not be able to grow our Usenet retention without you! Thank you for your support.

We continue to provide more than Usenet service. Over the past two years, we have worked hard to deliver an impressive set of additional software and services to complement our Usenet service, including:

VyprVPN Personal VPN
Dump Truck Online Storage
Mimo Usenet Browser + Search

We also recently launched the Giganews Control Panel App for iOS and Android. The Giganews Control Panel App allows members to manage their account usage, disconnect VyprVPN connections and stay informed on Giganews updates on their iPhone, iPad or Android device.

We have more exciting services and tools coming to Giganews this fall, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy our world leading Usenet retention.
