Giganews announces 240-day binary newsgroup retention

Giganews currently offers over 1,700 days retention for text newsgroups additionally.
Along with providing unlimited, uncensored access to all binary groups, Giganews has a decent price line-up, with an unlimited plan that costs $24.99 per month. An additional $5 will get you SSL encryption and boost your max number of concurrent connections to 20. This package is available as a Diamond account for an introductory price of $19.99 for the first month.
