TweakNews

By Nicholas Fearn

There are Usenet providers right across the globe, but many of them are located in Europe. And that’s certainly the case with TweakNews – the company is based in the Netherlands, and it’s an affordable Usenet service that claims to put quality first.

TweakNews also emphasises its flexibility, offering the user a wide array of block and flat-rate accounts, which also boast good performance levels, retention and privacy options.

Performance

When it comes to performance, retention is very important. With TweakNews, you get 2,500 days of binary retention, which refers to the amount of time data is kept. It doesn’t matter if you’re downloading files that are a few days old or ones which have been around for months – the platform aims to max out your broadband connection.

Completion rates are also crucial, and you’ll find that most high quality providers aim for close to 100%. TweakNews offers a rate of 99.9%, although it’s worth noting that this rate can change (as is also the case with retention). So after signing up, you may end up with higher rates at some point in the future.
