News server IS

[labratza]

Hi all

is there any news server that works on IS for downlods?

tried news.is.co.za in alt binz but just says downloading but there is nothing happening.

wondering if there is any other news server that I can try out to download NZB's it will be pretty cool if there is cos just got an uncapped line through Openweb

Hi.

You should get a Giganews account, full speed downloads and it offers ssl.

 

[labratza]

yeah but then going to pay through arses cos looking at downloading around 500gb if not more a month

 

[labratza]

with giganews is there any news server that you need to connect to or is it $30 a month and thats all that you pay?

Yes but then you have to use international bandwidth

 

[labratza]

we have uncapped international bandwidth so just trying to find out if it is only the $30 a month

 

[marine1]

Go to giganews then

you will need international bandwidth to access their server and btw its $11 @ astraweb for unlimited downloads. I get constant 426kBytes/sec after 8pm

which news server for local?

 

[labratza]

yeah I will just need to know if it is only $30 a month

check http://www.merlins-portal.net/Vbulletin/nzblist.php
I found the $11 special link here or else you gonna pay $15

 

[labratza]

if you look on astrawebs site it shows it there for $11

 

[labratza]

ok cool they also look pretty good. but now do they have there own engine like usenext?

or is the total payable $11

 

[sleez]

well some forumite payed $15

I took the $15 option, so +-R120. I guess it depends whether you are on a 4MB/s line or not.
