    Good price! How is this vs Astraweb for content being taken down?

    • cyssero on 06/02/2014 - 10:15

      About the same, get things quickly or they disappear. There's been some success with obfuscation as well.

      Firstly, this is a good price.

      I find Astra far better. I got this same NGD 2TB deal as part of their Black Friday promo.
      I will use NGD as my primary because with this deal it is cheaper than Astra ($50 1TB), then when I don’t get what I want, I turn Astra on, and so far I always get it.

      Of course there are cases where it is nuked for all.

      Came across a decent indexer last night, and Aus one www.oznzb.com

        Thanks for the oznzb heads up.

      I have Tweaknews as a backup and still found content taken down very quickly.

      The only solution for very popular content from super rich TV/Movie networks is to download it within the first few days, this is easy with automated software.

    This is getting to be a pain. So many files popping up that have passwords that you have to sell your mother wife girlfriend and your favourite n*t to get.

      I would never sell my favourite net for a file.

    • samfisher5986 on 06/02/2014 - 12:18

      This means you are not using usenet properly.

      Stop using Raw indexers, I don't understand why people do this when they sign up to usenet.

      There is a subreddit on reddit for this kind of thing, and plenty of other resources to find real index sites instead of raw sites.

    What's the download speed like? Any chance it'll go close to saturating a 100mbit cable connection?

    • samfisher5986 on 06/02/2014 - 12:15

      It depends..

      You won't get much better then 50mbit with 20 or so connections.

      However block accounts generally have unlimited connections so if you give it 40-50 connections then yes it should.

      Back when I had two unlimited Supernews accounts I was getting 100mbit.

  • SirNed on 06/02/2014 - 11:11

    My connection is only 12MB and it runs flat out all the time. I reckon it would keep yours busy as well

    • dan199 on 06/02/2014 - 11:14

      So 1.5megabytes/sec

  • dibbz on 06/02/2014 - 13:04

    $60 US gets you 6 months unlimited from other providers.

    I get about 70mbit from fastusenet with 50 threads.

    • jjcf on 07/02/2014 - 12:09

      By 6 months, you mean 12 months. Right?

  • tran_p on 06/02/2014 - 14:22

    Hey guys.

    Since we're on the topic of usenet. I'd like to know is I'm on a 100mbit cable plan, I'm using news hosting as my provider, and my max download speed is 5 MB/sec? Does that sound right as all?

    • samfisher5986 on 06/02/2014 - 14:33

      Its good… but your max speed is around 11 MB/s if you are with the right provider.

      I have 100mbit cable as well and thats the speed I had when I had two providers running (you can achieve it with one provider if its the right one)

    • bennobee on 06/02/2014 - 16:00

      Hey buddy I use Astra and with my NBN connection I get 9MB download speed at times max but more like 6 - 7 MB.
