its a complete scam, they will attempt to get money from you years later when your account is closed by using debt collectors, please look up "Usenext scam" on google and do not use them.
I hope I have save many stressfull moments. -

1. Subscribe to a well-known Newsgroup provider (Giganews, Astraweb, etc.) which has comparable pricing.
2. Download a usenet client (Newsbin Pro, Newsleecher, or if you don't want to pay get Grabit which is freeware).
3. Join an NZB forum (there are plenty).
4. Be happy.
I use Giganews and have never had a problem and max out my 30MB connection. I cancelled my account for the summer while I was vacationing and did not get billed anything. Re-instated my account, works fine. Maybe others here can recommend other providers as well.
Ignore 360baike. Click on it's name and you will see all it's posts are spam for Usenext. -

I tried the free trial of usenext over 2 years ago and while ok wasn't exactly what I was looking for so cnacelled before the end of the "free" trial.
A few weeks ago I get an e-mail reminding me I owe them just over £100. Go to usenext and log in to the account I cancelled. Turns out it wasn't cancelled with no way to prove that I in fact cancelled during the free trial. They wait 2 YEARS before sending me a payment demand, no other communication during that time at all. I respond explaining my side of things and asking them to clarify a few points, next e-mail I receive is from a debt collection agency.
A nice big bill for something I've never used. Save yourself grief and stay the hell away from these cowboys. If you want newsgroup access sign up for giganews. -

Guys iv been using UseNext for a while and i just want to recommend YOU DO NOT USE THEM.
I have had a very bad experience and now they are trying to charge me for a subscription i did not use. They didnt make it clear that they charge you every month no matter if you pay for it or not, they will also use debt collectors.
You may think you can pay once for say 50GB and then just use that and buy another 50GB but they will keep charging you no matter if you pay for it or not. When you dont pay, they will get dept collectors to recover the money. They didnt contact me to say this is whats going to happen or anything.
Unbelivable.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. -

Malicious and money grabbing "free" but not really free trial. IF you read all the fine print - and unselect the hidden 'fast download option' then the offer might be free - but thanks to an anti-fraud call from my ccrd company i found out they charged me $12 for 30mb download while on the 'free' trial

Hi, Dont really try to explain how usenet works, it is complicated for average users, UseNeXT did a good job, to provide speedy download with a transparent price. It is true, that you could get much better offer, if you spend time to research Usenet, but dont blame the company, their software is quite good, at least the interface is good.

I would be very wary of this company - just do a search for "UseNext scam" and see how many hits you get. The only thing that matters when downloading from newsgroups is who you provider is. If files are removed every 2-3 weeks it sound like this is a third-rate provider at best, preying on those who have never used usenet before.
If you're going to pay to download your stuff do as euph0ria stated and subscribe to a premiere usenet provider such as Giganews or Astraweb and a good binary downloading client such as Newsleecher or Newsbin Pro. Grabit is freeware. If downloading headers is too complicated then join one of the numerous NZB forums out there - .NZB files are the usenet equivalent of .TOR files.
The only thing that matters on usenet is your provider and your ISP's bandwidth. I would stay away from the newsgroups provided by your ISP as you will find them very limited. I've been on usenet for several years so any questions ask.
