Tips for Choosing a Provider

  • Days of Full Binary Retention - Retention is the number of days you're guaranteed to be able access to a file after its posting date. Mostly, providers offer around 200 days. See if that’s enough.
  • Monthly Transfer - Total amount of data you can download in a month. Usually in GB.
  • Connections - The number of simultaneous connections you can make at a single time. Usually you are provided with a sufficient amount of connections, regardless of the chosen account type.
  • Security - If you want to make your data transfer even more secure, you might want to check extra security offers from your provider.
  • Support - Sometimes you need to contact your provider and it’s always better if their support has a decent response time.
  • Cancellation and Trial Periods - It’s always a good idea to try their services without paying anything ahead. Just to check if everything fits your needs.
