I'm new to this. What do people recommend?
Depends on what you download. You got two important factors retention which is how long the articles are stored and data usage which is ultimate or blocks. If you don't download a lot get a block it is cheaper and doesn't expire.
I don't download as much as I used to so maybe block. I'm mainly thinking about trying it for more obscure stuff.
This one is good for you then two 1 TB blocks on different backbones for $15: https://portal.usenetprime.com/cart.php?a=add&bid=37.
Or this one 3 TB for $15 (4000+ retention): https://billing.blocknews.net/signup/blockfriday
Or this one 6 TB for €15 (2800+ retention ): https://bulknews.eu/en/%C2%A0and use the code bf241. Bulknews is on Abavia backbone.
Or this one 4 TB for $25 (4633+ retention): https://newsgroupdirect.com/member/billing/?plan=ce57&planid=233&yes_tracking=1
Or this one 500 GB for 10.50 till January 3 (3000+ retention): https://usenet.farm/
The retention is not accurate, it is probably more than this.
You would also need an indexer, each indexer offers different things, there are indexer that offer a trial you test them.
I'll look into it. Thank you for the resources.
