SSL Encrypted Usenet Access Now Available

365 days of retention and growing

BinTube.com has crossed the 1-year retention of indexed binary Usenet data. While Usenet server providers have yet to offer more than 200 days retention , we thought that it would be nice to offer a glimpse into the past. Our index has grown to over 365 days of data and all of it is searchable.
