We normally cover site designs around the holidays when Usenet providers decorate their website for the festivities. This time around we’d like to share a new design from the team over at FastUsenet.org. They recently rolled out a fresh new look for the site. It appears the services and prices are all the same. I like the new design. The features are well presented along with a tutorial that new users will find especially helpful.
FastUsenet.org has been around for a few years now. They do a good job of offering value with their Usenet plans. With accounts ranging from 6 GB to 35 GB a month. Along with the option of unlimited usage. You’ll find their prices to be competitive. All new members have the option of a 14 day free trial. Be aware that the trial is limited to 15 GB meaning you can download up to 15 gigs to test the service. That should be plenty.
What’s included in their accounts? For starters all plans come with access to news servers in the United States and Europe. Along with up to 50 secure (SSL) connections and a customized version of GrabIt newsreader. Speaking of GrabIt, the new site design includes a video that walks you through setting up and using the client to download from Usenet. You can still use your favorite NZB site. Check out the new FastUsenet video.
The video is short and to the point. In just over four minutes it walks you through singing into the FastUsenet site and downloading GrabIt. From there it shows the installation and newsgroup list download. Learn how to subscribe to groups, import an NZB from your favorite site and search for content from within GrabIt. Then when you’re ready to get started you can sign up for their free trial and test the service out for yourself.
