Server (located in Southern California) |
Our
Value Server is geared to towards the budget minded. Ultra high
download
limit at an ultra low price. If
you
already
have
an expensive
news provider that you like, but you need a higher download
limit without breaking the bank, or your ISP's news server has
prohibitively low download limits, add
our Value Server as a secondary server to it.
- 2
gigabyte/day download limit. That's a potential
of 60
gigbytes in a 30 day period.
- Very
good retention, completion, and speed

Our
service offers all of our users access to the entire Usenet. Some
of the interesting groups you can browse are:
- MP3
groups** - Forget file sharing
software that may soon be shut down (if not already). The
Usenet contains the largest collection of MP3's anywhere.
There are groups for the decades of the 50's, 60's, 70's,
80's, 90's and 2000's. There are also separate groups for
country, hip-hop, jazz, albums, soundtracks, comedy, bootlegs,
78-rpm oldies and many more specialized groups. There are
literally too many to name here.
- Multimedia
Groups** - This includes:
alt.binaries.movies*, alt.binaries.mpeg*, alt.binaries.multimedia*,
alt.binaries.vcd*. Find movies, music videos, and comedy videos.
What you find is up to you!
- Program
Files Groups** - Some of
the groups you'll find are: alt.binaries*, alt.binaries.cd.image*,
alt.binaries.games*, alt.binaries.ibm-pc*, alt.binaries.mac*.
You'll find demo's, shareware, and even full programs. Search
for what your looking for and you're likely to find it.
- Picture
groups** - Far too many
and varied groups to list, but alt.binaries.pictures* would
be a good start.
- Text
groups** - You will find discussions
on everything. Entertainment, politics, philosophy, science,
hardware, software, etc. If you have a question that needs
to be answered, there are thousands of people who share the
same interest that can help you out. "How do I replace
the spark plugs on a Jaguar XJS V-12?", "My motherboard
freezes when I add my new video card.", "What song
is played in that beer commercial?". Someone will know
the answer. Text groups you can look at include: comp.sys.*,
alt.*, rec.*, etc. Many companies have groups that provide
support for their products, as well as groups geared towards
countries such as Germany, France, Japan, China, Spain, Italy,
etc. etc. etc. If you have an interest, there is likely a
group that covers it.
*
This indicates that there are more specialized groups under this
hierarchy.
