Easynews Retention Jumps to 1,700 Days

April 24, 2013 by

Earlier this month Easynews doubled web retention.  Great news for members using the web interface but what if you want to go back more than 400 days?  That’s where Easynews NNTP retention comes into play.  They continue to grow the non-web retention and now support 1,700 days of binaries.  Easynews offers unlimited NNTP for $9.95 a month.  They also give new users a chance to test the web interface for free.

Easynews Retention Update

The Easynews web interface is by far the best around.  Browse over 400 days of binary retention through your web browser.  With the ability to search for content, view images, preview and stream.  All without any software.  Then if you want to go beyond 400 days you can fire up your favorite newsreader and browse up to 1,700 days of retention. You can check out our Easynews web interface review to see some of the features in action.

Confused by NNTP vs. web retention?  If so here’s a quick explanation:

  • NNTP retention uses newsgroup software like SABnzbd, Newsbin Pro, NewsLeecher, or Binreader to browse and download from Usenet.  Easynews includes NNTP access with all their plans.  They also have the option of unlimited NNTP Usenet for just $9.95 a month.  With or without a corresponding web plan.
  • The web interface and web retention are unique to Easynews.  A great choice for those new to Usenet who don’t want to mess with installing a client.  Use the web interface to search for content, preview, stream and download.  Easynews also supports iOS and Android.  New members can try it free for 14 days.

Cheers to the Easynews team as they surpass four and a half years of binary retention.  With increased web retention and other enhancements, they continue to expand the service.  You should check them out.

Web Usenet Takes a Leap Forward

April 4, 2013 by

We enjoy sharing updates from Usenet providers and software developers on a regular basis.  A lot of times the changes are incremental or focus on a very specific feature.  Every now and then we get a game changer.  Something that will completely change the experience for users.  This is definitely one of those times.  Easynews just announced that for the first time ever they are increasing web retention for all members.

Easynews increases web retention

We have a lot to talk about in this post but I don’t want to leave you hanging on the most important news.  The increase in web-Usenet retention.  Previously members had access to 150 days (Classic) or 200 days (Plus and BigGig) of binary files.  That changes today.  Now all members have access to 400 days of web retention.  Easynews more than doubled the number and their just getting started.  You can expect to see even more retention added this month.  We look forward to watching the growth of web retention moving forward.

Web retention wasn’t the only change Easynews made to their site and service plans.  We’ll keep going back to it though as new and existing members just got a huge upgrade without any increase in price.  In addition Easynews has streamlined their new site design and made the sign up process much easier.  No more full page of data entry to sign up.  The registration process is more user friendly and much faster to complete.

Let’s take a closer look at the Easynews web-based Usenet plans:

Easynews web plans

  • BigGig – 150 GB a month + unlimited NNTP, rollover gigs and 12 GB loyalty bonus
  • Plus Plan – 40 GB a month + rollover gigs and 2 GB loyalty bonus
  • Classic Plan – 20 GB a month + rollover gigs and 1 GB loyalty bonus
  • BigGig, Plus and Classic plans all include 400+ days of web retention

Need to go back more than 400 days to find content?  If so Easynews has you covered.  Members can use free Usenet clients like SABnzbd, Binreader or GrabIt along with premium newsreaders like Newsbin and Newsleecher to access 1,610 days of binary retention.  The usage is simply taken off your monthly allotment of gigs.  They also offer an unlimited NNTP account.  BigGig members receive unlimited NNTP free of charge.

We could go on and on about the features in Easynews web interface but it’s better to try it for yourself.  You can search, preview and download content from within your web browser.  It works with all the major web browsers.  There are also some cool iOS and Android apps available.  Our favorite is EZ Global Search.  We enjoy using it on both iPhone and iPad.  Android users can try out EZ Usenet and EasyBrowser apps.

As we mentioned earlier you can’t fully appreciate Easynews without trying the web interface for yourself.  Check out their new site design and look over the plan and service features.  Once you’ve had a chance to get familiar with the specifics you can test drive the service for free.  Sign up for their 14 day free trial and test out the web interface.  You will automatically have access to 400+ days of binary retention through your web browser.
