Eternews offers a number of servers for it's users. For this review we used the general server which contains all groups. They have specialized server for binaries, adult and goliath. The goliath server is advertised to contain all newsgroups but it seems to specialize in multimedia groups and picture groups.
Multipart binary completion is 96% and singlepart binary completion is 94%. Multipart binary retention is two days and singlepart binary retention is 12 days. Text retention is nine days.
Eternews lost points mainly for retention. If you check your news daily you should never have a problem getting what you need. The overall score for Eternews is 90%.
