I had to be honest with them and I showed them I only use Grabit and I use Astraweb/Giganews. But sadly they have now blocked p2p and they claim grabit and me getting stuff via NZB, are all p2p and as soon as I use it, it crashes their network.

I used to use utorrent but have not been doing so for more than a year now. I find that the grabit/nzb has been far better.

I would really appreciate if any of you can advise them of how to work around this headache. I am at this stage so sad because I cannot get my favorite two shows: DH and B&S.

Usenet uses the NNTP protocol, not P2P. I'm afraid that you were speaking to an imbecile.

Is Newshost accepting sign ups again? I heard they were completely closed. Anyway, I've only got NZBSA, Is Newshost a lot better? NZBSA has been awesome for me so far!

It doesn't matter where you get the nzb file from - they all point to the same files.

Lol, I know that. I was wondering if Newshost has a lot more NZBs. I usually use international sites to get NZBs but when I want a good local alternative for when I'm capped. Like I said, so far nzbsa has been awesome

NewsHost is also awesome, except when the web site gets overloaded and starts slowing down. Probably part of the reason why they don't want to allow new sign ups.

hey, anyone else having problems accessing nbzsa? I just get a random page every time I type in the URL.

Oh wait, it works after I cleared my temp files. Weird.

Looks like Newshost is down or extremely busy, and NZBSA disabled my account.

Yup, something is wrong with the bitfarm sites.

Shot down? Attacked by another bunch of lawyers perhaps? Also haven't been able to get to newshost since mid-afternoon.

Its dreadful. Bodies everywhere on the front line!
Things are deteriorating fast, but bitfarm is getting a fresh unit from the north, ETA 24 hours or so. Till then, lets just hope for the best

I was thinking Astraweb's $11 Unlimited looks the best... anyone got any suggestions as who to go with?
Thanks
