Peering Usenet
Much of Usenet's usefulness is derived from the sharing of data between newsgroup providers. In Usenet jargon, this process is known as peering. Premium Usenet services have several peers in order to provide a complete, current newsfeed for their customers. Giganews utilizes many peers for the very same reason, but there are many aspects to our service that puts us in front of the competition.
- Far-reaching peering allows articles from our servers to propagate quickly to other users and their articles will reach our newsgroups just as fast.
- 99%+ average article completion. Many Usenet peers and custom in-house technology allow us to offer the most complete text and binary articles.
- 200+ days of binary retention and 1901 days of text retention.
- More than 110,000 newsgroups. New newsgroups from our peers and customer requests are added frequently.
- 1 Gigabyte or three-day free trial. Use our service with no obligation and truly experience everything Giganews has to offer!
