Our Survey of Premium News Services shows that GigaNews and EasyNews are the most popular premium news services in the Agent Community.

Forté has an existing partnership with GigaNews. Now, we are happy to announce our relationship with EasyNews. EasyNews provides us with a high-bandwidth download site. This comes at a crucial time. We expect the release of Agent and Free Agent 1.92 to generate significant downloads.

In return, Forté will promote the EasyNews service. Our mission is to work hand-in-hand with the top news service providers to deliver the best Usenet experience possible.

Agent 1.92 Update

This latest build of this release has been very stable during testing by the Agent Beta Team. We expect this release to be available next week.

Regards,

The Forté Team
