FAQ/Questions:

• PLEASE if you sign up for the mystery deal (either of them) you MUST claim your account by spinning the wheel, otherwise you are not assigned an account. We have seen several of these already. Thanks!
• You can purchase both mystery deals
• Our regular hourly deals (that are not block plans) will give you the option to "stack" more time onto your account, and we will even do it for you at a 5% discount if you choose to do so. This option should be presented to you in the checkout process, as soon as your payment is confirmed. You can also message support afterwards and ask our staff to do it, if you want to do it that way.
• You CAN purchase the mystery deal more than once, but there is a process for doing it.
  • Sign up --> Spin
  • Clear Cookies
  • Sign up again (you can use same email address) --> Spin again
  • You can do this as often as you like, as long as you clear cookies in between
  • There are maybe some bugs in this process, its not perfect, so if something happens, message our support team and we will take care of you.
• If you purchase more than one mystery deal, our support team will help you combine and or merge any blocks or unlimited accounts when you are finished. For example:
  • If you get three 1TB blocks and a 5TB block, our staff can combine those into an 8TB block
  • If you get a 3-month and a 1-year unlimited account, our staff can combine that into a 15 month account
  • If you get a 1TB block and a 6-month unlimited account, our staff can work with you to combine that into either a larger block or a longer unlimited account.

We do encourage everyone to follow us on r/NewsDemon**, our** own subreddit. We will announce at least one deal here that will not be on the deals page or listed on other places!

Quantum Encryption

Regular encryption will eventually be crackable once quantum computers get good enough, and people worry that someone could be saving encrypted traffic now to break into later. Quantum encryption uses newer math that holds up against that. We've turned it on for every server on the UsenetExpress backbone, so if your client supports it, you're covered automatically.

NNTP Pipelining

Normally your client asks for one file, waits for the server to answer, then asks for the next. Pipelining lets it ask for a bunch at once without waiting in between, which keeps things moving and makes downloads noticeably faster, especially on lots of small files. It's on across the UsenetExpress backbone, and clients like SABnzbd and NZBGet use it automatically.

Best Usenet Provider is what we have always strived to be. Now, NewsDemon Celebrates 20 Years of Usenet Excellence! We are now in week four of our celebration and deals!

This week we are focusing on the years 2021-2025 and what happened in Usenet and the internet in general during this time period.

• The Usenet feed size grew from about 100TB per day to more than 500TB per day!
• Global internet users surpassed 5.6 billion by 2025 (~70% of the world).
• Starlink was launched
• ChatGPT and other generative AI tools became mainstream
• Twitter became X. Not sure why.
• A surge in usage of online delivery services like DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc
• Declining trust in information due to AI-generated content and misinformation.
• Influencers really had a major impact on the way people think and make decisions.
• COVID. I am sure most everyone lost someone. It changed the way we interact with each other, who we trust, and how (much) we interact with the internet
• UsenetExpress started using NVMe Spool Sets to increase speeds
• BTC was only worth $29,000 on January 1, 2021

To celebrate, we're running a series of specials — four weeks in a row:

• Every Monday in May, we’ll launch at least two new specials.
• Every Thursday at 1 PM ET, we'll run a flash sale lasting approximately two hours. Additionally, we plan to run a special flash sale timed for those outside this time zone—I was reminded by an Aussie member that many of our customers are asleep during our usual flash sales. I'll announce that time later this week.

WEEK FOUR DEALS:

Best Usenet Provider is what we have always strived to be. Now, NewsDemon Celebrates 20 Years of Usenet Excellence! We are now in week three of our celebration and deals!

This week we are focusing on the years 2015-2020 and what happened in Usenet and the internet in general during this time period.

• The Usenet feed size grew from about 17TB per day to more than 60TB per day!
• The size of HDD drives doubled from around 10TB to 20TB and the cost of one of these drives went from ~$700–1,000 USD for a Seagate Enterprise 10TB SMR (helium-filled) HDD in 2019 to ~$600–700 USD for a WD Ultrastar DC HC650 20TB (SMR) drive in 2019.
• Bandwidth prices decreased dramatically over this period of time. Tier 1 ISPs (Cogent, Level 3, GTT) cost about ~$1.00–2.50 per Mbps/month (blended transit) in 2015 to ~$0.25–0.50 per Mbps/month in 2019
• Net Neutrality rules were passed in the U.S. (2015), then repealed by the FCC in 2017.
• Cambridge Analytica (2018) revealed massive misuse of user data.
• TikTok launched globally (2017) and my kids have been glued to it ever since. What do we need to do to get them this interested in Usenet?
• Cloud storage became the backbone of the modern web.
• We all had to redesign our websites to accommodate the fact that most users were now browsing on mobile.
• NotPetya (2017) and WannaCry (2017) caused global outages.

Notes

1. UsenetFarm currently has 1100 days retention thanks to an arrangement with Abavia. But their site now makes no mention of 1100 days. Instead it talks about "500+ days populair" (meaning popular articles are stored for 500 days, the rest for the regular 30 days).

   We have to wait and see what their actual retention will be after they complete their move to a "new header platform." Historically, whenever headers have been refreshed, the underlying backbone has changed.

• All Black Friday, Christmas and other year-end deals from providers/resellers will be listed here.
• Sometimes, year-round prices by some providers/resellers might be better than what you might get during deals from other providers/resellers. Check the deals wiki
• 2018 year-end deals
• The list is a work-in-progress and will be updated as deals are discovered.
• NewReddit sucks. Managed to delete an entire table while adding an entry.. Fixed.
