You receive access to our lightning fast mega server, nntp.teranews.com. Our server is cable modem/DSL friendly. You will be amazed at how fast you download from our server. Our premium users have access to the following servers: nntp.teranews.com (port 119 or 1720) [90+ days retention] news.teranews.com (port 119 or 443) alt.teranews.com (port 119 or 443) unlimited.teranews.com (NEW) Try unlimited.teranews.com at port 119 (only allows 1 connection per user).  Anything downloaded from this server does not count against your download limit! This server is an unsupported bonus server for our pay members with a $7.95/month account or higher. Our free users ($3.95 setup fee accounts) have access to: free.teranews.com (port 119) This server supports a single connection. Limited retention Note about free accounts (Apr 2006): In an effort to keep the free server fair and useful to all our users we have slightly changed the way the 50MB free accounts works.  You will be allowed to continue downloading past your 50MB limit as long as you don't disconnect from from server (so you may finishing your current download queue), but if you greatly exceed the 50MB limit you will be expected to "repay" any debit owed.  All free users receive 50MB of credits each day.  For example, if you download 200MB in one day you will not be allowed to log back in for 3 days.  (150MB / 50MB = 3 days) This slight change is needed to keep the free server operating smoothly.  It will allow more users to enjoy the free server by allowed free and equal access to all users.
