# UseNight

## What is Usenet

Usenet is a worldwide distributed discussion and file-exchange system, originally created in 1979 at Duke University for exchanging text messages between computers. Traffic runs over the NNTP protocol. Users connect to a news server with a newsreader client, then download articles that reassemble into complete files.

- **Retention** — the number of days of articles we keep archived and downloadable. Higher retention means you can reach older content.
- **Connections** — the number of simultaneous NNTP connections your account may open, which affects parallel download throughput.
- **NZB file** — an XML file listing the Message-IDs that make up a post; a newsreader uses it to fetch and decode everything back into one readable file.
- **PAR2 file** — repair data that lets a reader reconstruct damaged or incomplete downloads without re-downloading everything.
- **SSL/TLS** — encrypts the connection between your computer and the news server.

Prices include VAT. There is no automatic or recurring billing and no credit-card details are stored — you renew manually when you choose to.

### Usenet general

**Q: What is Usenet?**

Usenet is a platform that was created for the exchange of text messages between different computers. Today it is still used for the exchange of all kinds of information.

**Q: What is the origin of Usenet?**

Usenet was developed in 1979 at Duke University in North Carolina. Initially data was exchanged via the UUCP protocol. Later, the NNTP protocol was developed to share this information on the internet. Nowadays almost all Usenet traffic still takes place via the NNTP protocol.

Retention is the number of days we archived from the newsgroups. This indicates how old a file may be before it becomes inaccessible.

An NZB file is an XML structured file format to retrieve Usenet messages from the Usenet newsgroups.

A Usenet client that is capable of reading NZB files collects all these Message-IDs, downloads them and decodes them back to one readable file.

**Q: What is an PAR2 file?**

A PAR2 file ensures that you can restore a damaged or incorrectly downloaded file. This means that you do not have to download all of the damaged files again.

We recommend SABnzbd. This client is free and easy to use, but does have enough options for the slightly more advanced user. SABnzbd has the option to schedule your Usenet traffic, perfect for a subscription with UseNight and they offer a Night/Dark-mode, yeey!

After researching and evaluating the options according to their price and advantages, Usenight seemed like a good option to me, since it offers good bandwidth and retention periods (although it could be better, it's almost 5 years) at a reasonable price, in exchange for the fact that this maximum speed is only possible during the night. As I am not a heavy user, this is a good way for me to try it out."

- ★★★★★ **bobby cooch** (US), 2020-07-11: "Great new idea for usenet pricing, especially on abavia network. Retention is more than needed, and night-time speed falls right in the perfect time for US users."
- ★★★★★ **Brook S.** (BE), 2020-07-09: "Heel goed en zeer goedkoop! Zeker & vast een aanrader!"
