Giganews, Inc., the world’s foremost premium Usenet access provider, announced today that due to unprecedented growth in the volume of member uploads, plans to further expand storage capacity have been advanced.
During September 2008, Giganews completed storage upgrades which increased retention levels to 240 days. Shortly thereafter, Giganews’ upload traffic jumped to a sustained level averaging well over 400 megabits per second, representing more than 4.3 terabytes of new user generated content and discussions per day. Giganews has seen steady upload growth throughout the decade, but the pace following the recent storage upgrade exceeded all expectations. The chart below displays the Usenet upload growth Giganews has experienced since January 2001:
"After our storage upgrades we noticed a considerable increase in overall usage and especially uploads," said Philip Molter, CTO of Giganews. "Due to the increase we have plans in motion to install further storage upgrades that will maintain our targeted retention level."
Members will experience retention levels slightly below 240 days until the upgrade is complete. Members can also expect Giganews to announce further storage upgrades in 2009 which will extend retention well beyond 240 days.
Due to the ever increasing popularity of Giganews Usenet, Giganews has actively improved its service and performance throughout 2008. Beyond retention upgrades, Giganews also recently announced the establishment of a network peering link at the London Internet Exchange™ and doubling capacity at the Amsterdam Internet Exchange™.

Giganews, the world’s leading premium Usenet provider, is offering new low-cost memberships to make it easier than ever to share and download international multimedia content and discussions over the Giganews® Usenet network. In addition to new membership options, Giganews is increasing download allowances for members purchasing Silver and Bronze packages at no additional charge and offering a 14 day free trial on all new memberships.
Giganews’ new low-cost memberships are designed to offer Usenet access to a broad range of people from around the world. Giganews members from many countries have been requesting lower priced memberships to make it easier for them to introduce friends and family to Usenet. Increasing the trial period from 3 days to 14 days will help those new to Usenet who need extra time to explore.
Details on all Giganews memberships and extended free trial offer can be found on the company’s website http://www.giganews.com.

In addition to these new memberships, Giganews is increasing download allowances for current Silver members to 35 Gigabytes per month and Bronze members to 10 Gigabytes per month at no additional cost to current members.
Enhancing membership options, increasing download allowances, and expanding free trials to 14 days is part of Giganews’ broader strategy to improve services and make Usenet more available than ever. Over the last year Giganews has:
- Increased download speeds for members by peering with Internet Service Providers though Internet Exchanges.
- Set the Usenet retention record with 240 days in binary newsgroups.
- Launched increased article numbering to support Usenet’s growth.
- Offered support for PayPal® payment methods.
