Usenet + Online Storage

[capntrader]

I got turned out to Usenet by posts made on here and was curious what you guys thought of this new plan that Newsdemon has. For 12/mo they offer a free 20GB storage account with an unlimited account.

Im not sure how much I even use to go for the unlimited or not, but wanted to get a take on whether this is something you guys would go for.

Last time, I thought the Giganews+ViperVPN combo was cool, but really didnt have much of a use for it.

What or who do you use with your Usenet?

wut? not to mention WTF is a storage account needed for when using newsgroups?

Edit: Oh wait... you mean they are offering 20Gb DOWNLOAD per month for $12? If that's the offer, hell no. total rip-off.

if i wanted online storage i'll go with an online backup company, not a usenet provider.

Obvious spam is obvious.

But he has such a legitimate name...

And no links to boot!

 

[capntrader]

not a spammer....just an occasional lurker. the need to know from here was due to initially getting the research i needed on that thing we should not speak of, so i thought to post back to help make a decision.

I miss FT and the black man avatar. BMA always showed us the truth.

Then a most hearty welcome to the forums. But 1st rule dammit.

Are they offering to allow remotely downloading (and manipulating/re-assembling multi-part segments) directly from usenet to their 20GB "air storage"?
And so that: the usenet data never arrives at your own local storage media, until some later time when you might choose to access the (now completed) content?
If so, that would seem to be a faster method than what's traditionally done.

How would that be faster?

You'd essentially double your bandwidth, for purposes of snagging usenet files before they disappear from the usenet server.
The ability to easily shift the download burden to some remote data storage location could be convenient for someone temporarily away from home on vacation, for example. After the usenet download completion, maybe you could later (depending on bandwidth) stream a re-assembled video from the remote 20GB storage directly to your TV display.
