Usenet: what is it anyway?

Here’s a brief description of Usenet:

Usenet is a worldwide network of commercial grade servers where members post and download files and messages to more than 100,000 themed discussion groups called “newsgroups”. Unlike peer based systems, Usenet is powered by commercial news servers connected through multi-gigabit Internet connections letting you to download as fast as your Internet connection will allow.

What’s cool about Usenet is that you don’t have to seed or upload anything while downloading a file unlike in torrent. And also, it is extremely fast! I mean mind-boggling fast!

How to get started:

In order to enter the world of Usenet, you are required to have a Usenet service provider. There’s actually a lot of them if you search it in Google but it’s important to take note that these providers are not free. Usenet isn’t a peer-to-peer service, so you’ve got to pay someone, somewhere for all that bandwidth and storage. If you’re not yet ready to spend some bucks to access Usenet, you can start with a free trial first then just continue if you like it.

For this post, I’ll be using Binverse, an all-in-one Usenet solution offering blazing fast Usenet access, easy-to-use free newsreader software, and a powerful built in search engine.

Binverse: user-friendly Usenet provider

I’m just a newbie when it comes to Usenet but I’m really glad that Binverse makes it so easy for me to use it. I just have to search the file I want to download from its huge selection of available content with over 800TB of user uploads using its built-in search engine and then download it. To make sure that you get the right file the first time, you can preview it first before downloading.

Preview works for both audio and video files. If you want to download some pictures, Binverse is just like Google Images that shows picture thumbnails so you can easily identify which image to download.

In terms of security, every Binverse account comes with a 256-bit SSL server connections which is the same level of protection provided by your bank online.

Binverse offers different plans to fit your budget but as a I said a while ago, it’s best to register for a free trial first so you can test the app. I also have here some Binverse accounts that I’ll give away to my readers and subscribers.

Good thing there is now Facebook Lite – a lighter, simpler, faster version of Facebook. (Please read the UPDATE below)

Facebook Lite is just like the normal Facebook (still with Ads but not as many like on the regular Facebook).

When you logged in, you’ll see a huge difference on the appearance. You’ll notice that there’s no application bar anymore at the bottom. The chat box can be found at top, at the middle of Inbox and Events. When you click Chat, a new window will pop-up.

When you view your profile, it becomes more simple and it loads really fast.

When you upload photos, it’s still the same but it won’t ask you to write descriptions, and other details anymore – just the Album name.

If you want a simpler, lighter, faster Facebook, then Facebook Lite is definitely for you!

UPDATE

Here’s a sad news, Facebook Lite is no longer working :cry: . If you visit the Facebook Lite website, you’ll be re-directed back to the main site. The changed was announced on Facebook’s own fan page.

I know it’s really disappointing especially for those who use it often. However, we just have to accept it, I know Facebook has a better plan.
