Long before the Internet was Usenet – a decentralized network that offered file sharing, emails, forums and news updates. This is still in existence today and Usenet servers can be accessed with the help of a Usenet client software.
The biggest advantage of accessing Usenet is the anonymity it provides. Regular file sharing applications and torrents are not secure while Usenet is and it is no wonder that popularity of Usenet clients is steadily increasing. The other advantage is that unlike seeders and leechers for torrents, all files are stored as a whole on Usenet servers and anyone with an access to a Usenet client can download them. So it is quicker then torrents plus provides anonymity.
Binverse is a premium Usenet client that is easy to install and use. Some of the features Binverse provides are :
- A comprehensive search engine which allows you to search for stuff you want.
- 265-bit SSL encryption for all Binverse accounts.
- No throttling or restrictions for download speeds.
- More than 800 Terabytes of data uploaded by users which is stored indefinitely on Binverse Usenet servers.
Binverse client features :
- An easy to use client interface which is low on consuming system resources and efficient to use.
- Preview multimedia files before downloading when using Binverse client.
- View images as slideshow.
- Tabbed searching.
- Download scheduler which helps in managing multiple downloads.
- Auto extraction of RAR files.
- Built-in chat program.
The giveaway :
In collaboration with Binverse, we are pleased to announce that we will be giving away 3 premium Usenet accounts worth $25 each for FREE. :). These accounts come with 50 GB of high speed downloads which means you can download as much as your ISP allows and won’t expire even after the download limit is used.

Update as of 6th September 2011 :
Winners for this giveaway have been announced here. Thank you all for your interest!
I’ve only recently heard of Usenet. Since then I’ve tried a couple of times to access it but found that you (general) were required to have a paid account to do so. I’m presently unemployed and have been for almost a year and a half so purchasing anything that requires payments is illogical. I’ve wanted to acquire an account to access and utilize Usenet even since reading about it, and until finding ihaveapc.com and noticing it’s “Giveaway” section, never thought I’d be able to do so. In response to your requirements to be considered for the generosity of this gift, I’m writing and hoping to be chosen. I say “Thank you” to all involved, for the opportunity, and for all who are attempting to win this prize!

I have no experince in using Binverse Usenet account, for most of my downloading needs I used to use Internet Download Manager.With Binverse Usenet account I beleive without installing any additional software I can download really fast and use the file quickly.Thanks for the giveaway.
Usenet has super-speed downloading ability, I like it and Thanks.
I have used RapidShare Premium account before but its wasn’t fast all time, whenever I needed to download files quickly without wasting time, I had these troubles sometimes.Binverse Usenet account looks like a promising fast-file downloading service which I have come to know about now.Pretty much I really like all its features offered for premium account holders.Thanks a lot for this nice giveaway.Hoping to win one 🙂
I have always heard about Usenet but never tried it. Reasons being on the slowest internet speed you can imagine and I’m still a student. But, Now I have a better Internet connection and I’ve bought a few software already and I absolutely love, Key Scrambler. Before I can actually shell out real money on this service, this giveaway can be of great help. 🙂
I have heard of the almighty Usenet but never really got to see what its about, would love to win one account to feed my greed and shed enlightenment on my ignorance…….
I need one too.
Thanks.
I used bin newsgroups back in 1995 – at university. It was great fun, on those old HP UX workstations. Version 7? 8? 9 maybe? It’s a long time ago, days I miss ; )
Afterwards I tried it a few times more, but always got annoyed.
File(s) missing, not found and A PAIN IN THE sunless spot to search. You need a seperate program, which I could never get as a warez version, so I just left it.
Once in a while, when I changed ISP’s, I’d try their (un)supported binary news for usenet. It never was a succes.
Without good searching facilities (where you can customize the groups to search in neet groups!!), I just preferred emule (long ago) and now torrents.
But I’d love to get back into the action. Laws in effect limit the torrent usage for software testers like me. I need to get back on the backbone!!! This offer would be JUST THAT – for I understand you support searching too?? And I think I will be finally able fo follow those pesky “Availabe on usenet”-links ;p
I hope I’ll be lucky enough :/
Anyway, thank you for posting

Thank you ihavepc Admin and Binverse for the cool and amazing Usenet premium account giveaway.I haven’t tried Binverse Usenet account for downloading yet but have seen friends getting huge rise of speed when they tried downloading a file through Usenet.I would like to win a account so that I have super fast download speed for downloading files quickly, also the 265-bit SSL encryption for the account ensures that all my downloads are secured and private from any kind of eavesdropping.
Regards
had wanted to use usenet for a long time – especially with all the benefits , looking forward to try out binverse .
I have tried a similar client in the past on usenet. My opinion is that it was easy to install, set up an account and start downloading files for testing or use on my projects. However, since I was on a trial account, speeds were capped and and I did not realise the true potential of the service. The user interface was easy to navigate and I had no problem finding what I needed. It also did not use up much system resources while in operation.
