Disk images of any size.
Create disk images of any size, host AI training datasets, and stream-write them straight to a target disk or model server — no local staging, no download-to-disk shuffle. Recipients open the share like a normal folder.
Tired of saturated FTPs and slow torrents, but don't want per-GB cloud costs? Switch to Usenet Share.

What it's for
Four things you can do today.
Deliver a 400 GB project to a client
No file-size cap, no per-GB cost. Hand them a link; they paste it and browse the folder. They pick the shots they need — or grab everything.
Create and deploy images of any size
Build a disk image, host it on Usenet, then stream-write it directly to a target disk. No local storage needed between the network and the destination.
Host large training datasets
Store multi-terabyte AI training datasets on Usenet and stream them directly to a model server or training node without staging the full set on local disk first.
Private encrypted backup with provider retention
Files encrypted on your machine before they ever leave. Your provider only sees random bytes. The app tracks retention and warns you before expiry so you can re-publish.
How it works
Six steps. No NZB. No par2.
Pick source
Folder, files, disk image, or AI dataset.
Encrypt + pack
AES-256-GCM. Big files chunked, small files packed.
NNTP upload
60 concurrent connections to your Usenet provider.
Share URI
One tiny link carries pointer + decryption key.
Browse folder
Recipient opens the share like a normal folder.
Stream to disk
Download, verify, or stream-write to disk / model server.
* You bring your own Usenet provider (Newshosting, Tweaknews, Eweka, …). See Providers.
The app
See every surface, not just the marketing shots.
Upload + publish pipeline
Index → segment → encrypt → upload → verify → publish. Live throughput, transferred bytes, and a real folder tree of what's going out.
Share browser (recipient view)
Paste a share link and browse it like a folder. Pick a file, a subfolder, or the whole share. Parallel downloads with per-file SHA-256 verify + auto-repair.
Stream straight to the target disk
Stream an imported share range-by-range straight to a target block device. No local staging, checkpointed, byte-verified on completion.
AWS S3-compatible on top of Usenet
Point rclone, aws-cli, boto3 or s3cmd at your local gateway. Buckets map to shares, keys map to files. Zero per-GB egress.
Verified at scale
Numbers from the latest run.
Verified end-to-end
Latest run: a 20 TB folder posted and pulled back down clean — large streaming files, packed small files, unicode names, symlinks, hardlinks, boundary sizes.
Files in a single share
Smart small-file packing bundles millions of tiny files into single Usenet articles, then reconstructs them perfectly on download.
Articles posted, zero corruption
Every file SHA-256 hashed pre-upload and re-hashed post-download. Missing articles auto-repair from redundant copies.
Concurrent NNTP connections
Custom-modified NYUU upload + native C++ downloader. Matches per-IP caps at Newshosting, Tweaknews, and Eweka.
Capabilities
Built like infrastructure.
Browse a share like a folder
Open a share and you see a real folder tree — directories, filenames, sizes. Pick one file, a subfolder, or the complete share. No NZB, no manifest.
Disk images of any size
Create .iso, .img, or raw disk images and host them on Usenet. Stream-write them directly to a target disk without ever downloading to local storage first.
Write to Disk
Pipe a share or disk image directly to a target disk or block device as it downloads. Zero local staging. Pause/resume + crash-resume built in.
Stream training data to model servers
Host multi-terabyte datasets and stream them to a training node or model server as a mounted share. No local copy, no cloud egress bill.
Smart small-file packing
Millions of tiny files would mean millions of tiny uploads. Usenet Share packs files under ~500 KB into single articles, then unpacks them perfectly.
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.
