Question about usenet services
Posted: March 31, 2010, 10:31 pm
I currently have Newsleecher and Giganews. I was curious if there was a benefit of having another service, such as Astraweb. Would Astraweb just have the same results as Giganews, or does it pull it's info from different sources?
For example, if I do a music search in Newsleecher while logged into the Giganews server and get no results, would the same thing happen if I logged onto an Astraweb server and did the same search? If I did get a result in one, would the other have the exact same results and files (other than retention times, of course)?
I'm kind of hitting a brick wall trying to find an answer with google. Any help/clarification would be appreciated!
