Golden Frog posted a great photo of 500 Terabytes (or a half of Petabyte) of Dump Truck online storage on the Golden Frog blog. Don’t worry, 500 Terabytes is only a portion of a single Dump Truck storage cluster, so there is plenty of storage space for Giganews members. Golden Frog is furiously working on new Dump Truck features, such as sharing and desktop/mobile apps, so stay tuned for more news in the coming months!
Check out the Dump Truck online storage photo!

We released an update to the Giganews customer control panel today. The control panel is your personal web interface for managing all your Giganews services and personal account information. We completely redesigned the control panel to give it a more simple layout that will hopefully be easier for Giganews members to use.
One of the more powerful new features is the ability view and disconnect active VyprVPN connections. For example, if your home computer is actively connected to VyprVPN and you need to use VyprVPN on your mobile device, you can login into the Giganews control panel and disconnect VyprVPN for your home computer and now access VyprVPN using your mobile device. Below is a quick summary of the updates to the control panel.
Dashboard Changes:
Giganews Usenet:
VyprVPN Personal VPN:
Dump Truck Online Storage:
