ASHBURN, Va., July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NEWSHOSTING, the recognized leader in global Usenet newsgroup access, today announced the release of its newest browser version, v1.3.2. The new release enhances OS platform support, end-user functionality and speed to deliver a better Usenet experience than ever to Newshosting subscribers worldwide.

Newshosting v1.3.2 supports Windows 8 and Mac OSX 10.9 Mountain Lion, ensuring that the Newshosting browser, already the fastest and most feature-packed newsreader on the market, is optimized for the next generation of operating systems.  Other key upgrades include an updated database of 3^rd party libraries like SSL and UnRar, improved support for Mac OS X 10.7 and enhanced thread connection functionality.  Together, this suite of upgrades further leverages the award-winning Newshosting browser as the leading newsreader on the market.

Users on all Newshosting plans, including the special 21 day/30 GB free trial available through July 31, can download a free, full-featured copy of the Newshosting browser.  At its core, the Newshosting browser allows users to search, browse and preview Usenet content with unprecedented ease.  Many Usenet clients require a complicated configuration process.  With Newshosting, there is nothing to configure—just login and begin your Usenet experience, complete with easy search, super-fast transfers and auto-PAR and auto-UnRAR.  For more information on the Newshosting browser, visit Newshosting's QuickStart Guide.

This announcement also comes just ahead of Newshosting hitting a major 4 year retention milestone.  Newsgroup retention is the length of time that a newsgroup post is available to subscribers.  4 years of retention means that Newshosting subscribers can access posts that were added to Usenet newsgroups up to 1,424 days ago, with 99% completion.  The Newshosting client allows direct access to the full retention spool along with up to 60 simultaneous 256-bit SSL encrypted connections—the most offered by any Usenet provider.
