For all those who are bandwith-challenged:
Easynews is quite a premium newsserver, but has some drawbacks:
the retention time on their nntp-servers varies from group to group:
for example: for poly it is 3 weeks, for asp. only 8 days. They offer
a longer retention time on their website however ( 4 weeks or so). But
not for all groups: groups with a bad reputation ( like asp. or u-a)
are not carried on their webinterface (legal reasons for this). So in
effect, you have only 8 days retention time for asp., which is not
great.
Newshosting on the other hand offers 20 days retention for all groups
in the alt.binaries.***-hierarchy on their nntp-servers, and for all
'text' groups like poly retention time is half a year. And newshosting
is a premium server too (high speed, great completition).
Just for your information.
