After much consideration, I am stuck between giganews and easynews. Please tell me which ones you think are better and why. Please note that I would like meaningful reply's and no spam, flaming or fanboy shenanigans :). Any advice given would be beneficial to me and the zeropaid community in general. Thank you.

Content-wise, both are pretty much the same. GigaNews offers much better retention. A binary thread will remain available on GigaNews for 100 days. EasyNews is about 12 days according to their FAQ.

If you are going to choose between the two and price is not a consideration, I would definitely recommend GigaNews.

I have heard that giganews caps your download speed after 200gigs is downloaded... Is that true?

I've never heard that before, but I doubt it. I use NewsHosting (unlimited for $14.95 per month, 45 day retention). There were several people here who said they use GigaNews (I think DwarfBaby mentioned it once or twice) that you might check with, but I kinda doubt it.

Newshosting.com is my favorite, I've used them for over a year, and their 8 connections $14.95 Unlimited is TOUGH to beat.

Newshosting.com is better! :icon_thum

I have never heard of that from any power users that use giganews...but 200 gigs in how long? a day? a week? a month? What timeframe are you talking about?
