Astraweb quality declining?

I tried different astraweb servers with no luck, so not sure how much that helps...?

I get line speed on the eu ssl one which is quite nice ;)

Well since they are physically different servers, I would hope that stuff which might be missing on one server could be found on the other one.

Astraweb have confirmed to me that my issues are caused by DMCA takedowns.

Speaking from an awesome experience, I would say give Newshosting a try, if you get the affiliate deal, you get unlimited downloads for $10.00/month for life :-) They also have a really neat free usenet client that has some big pluses to it like preview before you download an extremely comprehensive search, you can also search and obviously load your own NZBs too.

This forum is pretty cool surprised I haven't come across it until now - cheers!

Right now I am using XSUsenet for my backup account bc Astraweb is having a really rough time, XSUsenet offers 25Gig accounts free and you can grab most missing stuff off XSUsenet
 
What do you guys find the benefits of paid for news servers are?

Max out the speed of your line, don't have to worry about stuff being cached or not, lots of nice older stuff (up to 4 years old), encrypted downloads.

Newsdemon bro

Check what they running now, 7 dollar unlimited, then 10 dollars a month. Newsdemon is just about the cheapest. Also they give you a 30gb storage account which is awesome. Since i moved from astraweb to newsdemon i have never looked back.

All my work files upload to my 30gb storage just in case my hdd fails plus back up :D.

Supernews lies, best value anywhere at 12 dollar while newsdemon is 7 dollars first month, then 10 dollars, more connections and a 30gb account plus free software that is not great but still newsdemon must be the best value or somewhere close.

Speed mostly. Grabbing stuff old or new at full line speed FTW.

Come on dude, is 10 dollars really bank breaking considering how much we pirate? I even pay for newzleecher, i love the super search feature :D. So my monthly bill is 12 dollar yo.
