Usenet.nl – easy, fast and secure usenet downloads!

It doesn’t really happen too often that some product would deserve a post here at Fastrapidsahre  after one email. But some products are so good, you don’t need to think about them too much. And

Usenet.nl is one of them. I received email about this new service few days ago together with trial login and link to their client. I am highly sceptical to any paid downloading service, as most of them are just a scam, but this turned to be a real deal. Usenet.nl is obviously a usenet service, offering downloads from news servers for everyone.

Most of you imagine something really complicated and hard to use if you hear word usenet. Yeah, newsgroups aren’t the easiest to use if you don’t know how to work with them. But these guys at Usenet.nl completely change it – they developed extremely simple, user friendly client, which will allow you to use the service without any learning or reading help. It’s that simple.

The software asks you for your login and password the first time you launch it and then it’s ready. There are basically two ways of using it – either typing the thing you are looking for in the search, or checking the “Top files” section. I was actually really surprised, because there are real, scene releases, listed just few hours after pre. No bullshit, no fake files, real stuff. And if you use the search, you will most likely find whatever you are looking for – the service offers access to more than 2000 TB of content.

To make it even better, you can just click on one of 8 categories (Music, Videos, Games, …) and see the most popular files. Downloading the files is as easy as doubleclicking on the name and selecting the folder, where you want to save the data. There’s also NFO / description for almost every release, so you know what you are downloading. Users of Usenet.nl can also add comments about each release and rate its quality.

What’s best is the download speed. Seriously, I downloaded almost 100 MB of data in couple of seconds. Not minutes, not hours like with public torrents. Just click on the download button and in the next instance the files are on your hard drive. As you can imagine, such a service can’t be free, but right now there is a FREE TRIAL, which allows you to download unlimited amount of data at 1 Mbps for 14 days. After that, you can decide to cancel or pay for the full service, which features 25 GB of unlimited speed downloads and then unlimited transfers at 1 Mbps for prices starting at 8€ a month. Seriously, this is one of the biggest surprises this month – give it a try!
