Retention

Retention refers to the length of time articles are stored in a Usenet system. Retention is usually determined by "first in - last out" logic where the oldest articles are deleted as new articles are stored. The oldest article in a Usenet system is typically what defines that system's retention. Giganews offers 470 days binary newsgroup retention and 2342 days text newsgroup retention."

Thank you for the great newsgroup service I have received in the last 2 years. Giganews consistently gives the best service, especially when it comes to completeness in the binary newsgroups.
