Do you offer SSL-Encrypted Downloads?
Yes, on 3 of 5 servers SSL-Encrypted downloads are possible, SSL on the fourth server follows.
But we still want to point out that SSL Encrypted Usenet downloads are really not necessary. The Usenet works with 7Bit, but normal home computer with 8Bit. Because of this all the data you get from the newsservers is encrypted, only the newsreader decrypts the data again.
SSL is therefore not strictly necessary, and means for both the server and your computer for a higher load.
