intertan Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 my understanding is these are newsgroup programs. I get an nzb then it downloads it from the newsgroup sites. My question is what is a good hose, provider ow whatever you call it to use these programs question update So looks like I am looking for something like giganews like service. What do you recommend?

opentoe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I use Giganews for groups and has been very stable. Now that I've found SAB and SB I can't live without them. Link to comment
christuf Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 People are very fond of AstraWeb - they have a good price point compared to Giganews Link to comment

aiden Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Astraweb Usenet Server - $11/mo $95.4 UsenetServer Annual Account or $10/mo I use both of them NEVER had issues with them and i max 12 mb line out with them I signed up for both to try them out and was planning on only keeping one. Is the purpose of having 2 so that you have redundancy in case one is unavailable? Link to comment
sacretagent Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 well i am using usenet now for years and in the beginning i had 2 because of retention ... sometimes one didn't have something any more and the other one would still have... but now retention is for both about 900 to 1000+ days so this happens less to nearly never now i never had one going down on me ... but my ISP changes his routing like 2 times a day and sometimes i have issues with some server ... so then it is handy to be able to still get full speed from another server... astraweb has servers in europe and the US .... Guess that is now the main reason why i keep 2 and heck for 20 US$ unlimited 2 providers i can't complain Link to comment
