NewsDemon is a premium USENET (newsgroup) service. We provide high speed connections to newsgroup servers with the highest completion rate and retention rates available.Click here or here for a list of benefits of using our services.

We currently offer around 107,000+ groups. Many groups are "dead" groups with very little or no content at all and we exclude these. We have the ability to offer more groups so if we do not have a group you would like to read, please let us know HERE.

Files and messages in the binary groups are available for up to 650 days on the Premium Server and up to 650 days on the Economy Server. In the text groups, files and messages are available up to 1265 days.

All economy accounts are allowed 10 simultaneous connections. All premium server usenet accounts are allowed 50 simultaneous connections. The amount of simultaneous connections allow you to browse multiple newsgroup articles at the same time.

This is an extremely complex question because of all the outside forces that can influence the answer. The most important thing to remember is that Newsdemon does NOT in any way rate limit or throttle speeds to ANY of our customers. NewsDemon.com Newsgroups offers USENET acces from both the US and EU server locations to provide the fastest connection available.

Whenever you download from a secured connection, you are downloading information that has been scrambled on both ends of the connection and then reassembled using a special encryption key that only the two ends have access to. This will help secure your login and password information as well as any other information you are sending through the connection. Some people whose ISPs are traffic shaping certain ports used for usenet communication will also see an increase in speed because their ISP is not traffic shaping the SSL ports.

After you signup for a membership, within seconds you will receive a membership email and a receipt email. The membership email will contain a username and password which you will use to access our newsgroup servers. Please keep both of these emails for your records.

YES!!! If you do not provide us with a real email address, you will not receive either your receipt of purchase or your membership email. You need both of these. We DO NOT resell your info, we do not send you spam, and we do not contact you for reasons other than issues with your account.

When you sign up for any of our monthly subscription accounts, you'll receive and additional 14 days of service included in your subscription. In order to activate this feature, simply sign up and remain a member of any of our limited or unlimited bandwidth plans and our system will automatically calculate your re-billing date 45 days out from the time of sign up. How it works: If you signed up on the 1st of a given month, then you will not be re-billed again until the 15th of the next month. You will then be re-billed for the 15th month thereafter. This offer is only valid for our monthly subscription accounts and does not include block accounts.

The easiest way to find the best Port for your account is to visit our ports page located here: http://www.newsdemon.com/ports.php

We have a static instructions page located here. You must be a member to view this page: http://www.newsdemon.com/members/newsrover.php We also offer a video version located here: http://www.newsdemon.com/newsrover_setup_guide.php

We count every byte of information that flows from our server to your pc. This includes all files from binaries groups and text groups. We do not count transfer amounts for posts you make to groups.

There is a page within your members area with details on how much transfer you have used for the current billing cycle. The statistics sections of the members area are updated every hour.

Files and messages in the binaries groups are available for up to days. Files and messages in the text groups are available up to 720 days.

We bill either your credit/debit card or your Paypal account. All of our membership plans renew automatically until you decide to cancel. If you no longer want to receive our service you must fill out the cancellation form located in the members area. If you signed up using either Paypal or Worldpay, you will need to login to your Paypal or Worldpay account and cancel your subscription there AS WELL as cancelling your subscription within Newsdemon.

When you reach your monthly download limit you will no longer be able to download from newsgroups. Autorecycling allows our system to automatically renew your account once you have reached your monthly download limit. This means we will bill you for the next month's membership on the day you reach your account download limit. This will also move your future billing date. For example: You signup for a 2GB per month account on the 5th of the month. Unless you use all 2GB of your download prior to the 5th of the next month your next rebill will be the 5th of the following month. However if you use all 2Gb of the download limit by the 24th of the same month (19 days later) our system will automatically rebill you for the price of a 2GB account and your rebill date will move out till the 24th of the next month (unless you again use all your transfer before that date).

If you want to cancel autorecycling, please login to the members area and click the link on the left side of the page to turn autorecycling on/off. Please note that cancelling autorecycling DOES NOT cancel the rebill of your account on its next SCHEDULED rebill date.

1. If you've signed up for a Free Trial Account, you should cancel your account before your trial period ends.
2. If you've paid using PayPal or WorldPay, please make sure to cancel your Subscription or FuturePay Agreement too.
