Today Giganews reached 700 days of high-quality binary retention, and plans to continue adding retention on a daily basis. With a long-term commitment to leading the Usenet provider industry, Giganews now gives members 700 days—and counting—of high-quality binary retention for the more than 109,000 existing newsgroups.
