## Pure Usenet

- `debrid/pureusenet` | trial-only | evidence documented | binding per-ip-shaping | category Usenet provider (Netherlands) - one-week trial | tier free week trial
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-23T02:20:22.000Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-23
- url https://www.pureusenet.nl/en/packages/pure-s
- free tier: "Every Pure Usenet packages can be used for free for one week." The package pages carry "Free week trial" as a feature, and the Dutch page says "Ieder Pure Usenet pakket kun je vrijblijvend een week gratis proberen" (every Pure Usenet package can be tried free for a week, without obligation). | unit: unlimited | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1] | note: The trial is 7 days with no byte counter; the only bound the vendor publishes is the package speed. Support states "There are no limitations on the number of downloads or the amount of data downloaded on any Pure Usenet account."
- per-object cap: No per-object cap is published. The unit of retrieval is a Usenet article, roughly 750 KB by convention. | source: [1]
- retention: "4100 days" of retention in the package table; the prose says "More than 4100 days of retention". | days: 4100 | source: [1] | note: The Dutch Pure M page's meta description still says "Meer dan 2000 dagen retentie" while the table on the same page says 4100 dagen. The table is the rendered offer and is what is recorded; the conflict is kept here rather than smoothed over.
- egress: Download volume is not metered on any package: support says there are "no limitations on the number of downloads or the amount of data downloaded". Speed is the only published throttle. | metered: no | free allowance: 7 days at the package speed: 8 Mbps (S), 20 Mbps (M) or 60 Mbps (XL) | source: [2]
- identity: email | detail: The order path (/en/signup/form?package=8) renders the cart page, which asks for a plan and a period and lists payment methods; no payment field and no field list were readable without starting a signup. Email is the minimum such a cart implies and is not confirmed. Whether a card is captured at activation is unresolved, which is why this record's trial is counted twice in the ladder (with and without it).
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 8 Mbps on Pure S, 20 Mbps on Pure M, 60 Mbps on Pure XL [1]
  - retention-clamped: 4100 days [1]
- limits note: Connection counts are 4 on S, 8 on M and 12 on XL, per the package table.
- binding note: The trial has no byte counter, so what caps it is the package speed over 7 days: 8 Mbps is 1 MB/s, which is 604,800 s x 1 MB/s = 604.8 GB. On XL at 60 Mbps the same week is about 4.5 TB, so the choice of package is the whole of the trial's ceiling.
- interface detail: NNTP over SSL. The schema has no nntp token, so the array says unknown; the vendor's own pages name SSL Usenet access and a connection count.
- tooling: any NNTP client; the vendor sells connections, not software
- composes with: Seven days at 8 Mbps is about 605 GB if a user's line can hold it.
- reliability: No suspension report was read. The 30-day money-back guarantee is the paid-plan route, not a trial.
- notes: Repeatability: no vendor sentence was found on any page read, and /en/terms answered 404. A second address is therefore neither documented as allowed nor documented as blocked; the record claims neither. Abandonment: if the package pages drop the free-week line, the record becomes paid-only.
- evidence note: The free week is documented on three package pages and in two languages. The identity gate is inferred. The terms page at /en/terms answered 404, so no sentence on trial repetition exists to quote.
- extras:
  - repeatable: unstated
  - repeat_basis: no sentence located
  - speed_bytes_7d.8 Mbps: 604.8 GB
  - speed_bytes_7d.20 Mbps: 1512 GB
  - speed_bytes_7d.60 Mbps: 4536 GB
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-23: "Every Pure Usenet packages can be used for free for one week." and "Free week trial" with 8 Mbps, 4 connections and 4100 days
  - [3] 2026-10-23: Page title "Vrijblijvend 1 week gratis proberen!" and body "Ieder Pure Usenet pakket kun je vrijblijvend een week gratis proberen" - the same offer in Dutch, plus the 4100-dagen row in the package table
  - [2] 2026-10-23: "There are no limitations on the number of downloads or the amount of data downloaded on any Pure Usenet account." - the trial's byte counter is absent, not merely unpublished
