Industrial-grade
transfer protocol.
End-to-end encrypted file sharing over Usenet. No central server, no file-size cap, no expiry. Built for researchers, video teams, and SREs moving terabytes of data without paying per-GB egress.
usenet://8fb92a@alt.binaries.data/71029#k=4f82a1c9e823b10What it's for
Three things you can do today.
Deliver a 400 GB project to a client
No file-size cap, no expiry deadline, no per-GB cost. Hand them a link; they paste it; the folder reconstructs byte-for-byte on their machine.
One publisher, a thousand consumers
Pay once for the upload. Recipients pull at their own provider's bandwidth. No CDN bills that scale with audience size.
Private encrypted backup that never expires
Files encrypted on your machine before they ever leave. Your provider only sees random bytes. Stored on Usenet's 4000+ day retention.
The Pipeline
Atomic delivery sequence.
Publisher
Pick a folder. Click Publish.
Encrypt
AES-256-GCM, locally, per chunk.
NNTP Upload
Striped across your Usenet provider.
Share URI
A single link carries the pointer + key.
Consumer
Paste link. App reassembles & verifies.
* Requires your own Usenet (NNTP) provider account. We recommend Newshosting or Tweaknews (~$10–15/mo unlimited).
Verified at scale
Numbers from the latest run.
Files transferred end-to-end
Latest internal test: 97 GB across every file category — large streaming files, tiny files, unicode names, symlinks, hardlinks, boundary sizes.
SHA-256 matches
Sampled across that 1M-file run. Zero data corruption. Every file is hashed pre-upload and re-hashed post-download.
Concurrent NNTP connections
Matches per-IP caps at Newshosting, Tweaknews, Eweka. Sustained 172 files/sec on consumer-side download.
Capabilities
Built like infrastructure.
End-to-end encrypted
AES-256-GCM. Files are encrypted on your machine before they hit your Usenet provider. Without the share link's key, the bytes on Usenet are random noise.
SHA-256 verified at every step
Every file is hashed pre-upload and re-hashed post-download. Mismatches trigger automatic re-fetch from redundant copies.
Resume-safe
Network drops, app crashes, even MSI reinstalls don't lose progress. PR-BD/BE auto-resume picks up exactly where it stopped.
60 concurrent NNTP connections
Custom-modified NYUU uploader + native C++ downloader. Sustains 200+ Mbps on a fast connection; matches per-IP caps at major providers.
Three share types
Public, password-protected, or fully private (recipient-keyed). Unauthorised parties with the link get useless ciphertext.
Bring your own provider
Works with any provider carrying alt.binaries.*: Newshosting, Tweaknews, Eweka, Usenetserver, Astraweb. Open-source backend on GitHub.
