Eweka: downloading behavior increases usenet interest

Eweka claims that the demand for usenet services continues to grow due to the increased downloading behavior of internet users. The Usenet provider has purchased 200 new servers to continue to meet demand.

Eweka expects further growth of Usenet and thinks that the purchase of the two hundred servers from HPS Industrial can accommodate this. In addition to a stable and fast connection, the update of the server park should ensure a retention of one year. With this, Eweka is in step with Giganews and XS News, which already announced in March that they would increase the retention to 365 and 400 days respectively, while Astraweb also says it is aiming for 365 days. The announcements show that providers of news servers with binaries use retention as a selling point.

“The purchase concerns 19″-2U servers from HPS Industrial that were developed and assembled within a period of three months,” says Paul Beers, senior engineer at Eweka. He does not want to disclose how much the storage capacity has increased for competitive reasons and Also when asked to what extent usenet use has grown, Beers refuses to answer ‘now that all that hassle is playing with Brain.’ Beers refers to several announcements by Brein in recent years that the anti-piracy foundation is turning its sights on Usenet providers. target; the last time in January of this year.
