Usenet Client

There are two requirements for getting started in the world of Usenet: a service provider and a Usenet client. While different Usenet clients may have individual ups and downs, Giganews is the gold standard among newsgroup providers.

  • Over 110,000 newsgroups and counting.
  • 200+ days of binary retention and 1893 days of text retention. Access months or even years of articles without worrying about missing an interesting topic.
  • 99% or greater average article completion. Our servers save you from repairing incomplete articles by providing data that's already largely free of damage.
  • Use up to 10 concurrent connections. With a compatible Usenet client, browsing Usenet will be more efficient and much quicker overall.
  • Usenet client discounts. Whether you're brand-new or experienced with the world of Usenet, our exclusive discounts give you the opportunity to surf with a proven Usenet client.

Of course, there's much more to Giganews than this handful of benefits. Sign up for our complimentary three-day trial and see what it's like to be with the best!

I cannot believe what I have been missing now that I have tried your Usenet newsgroups service. It is very refreshing to see how a news server business should be run. The level of quality both from retention and completed message count is simply excellent. Man, this place rocks!
