OpenWeb/IS and Astraweb?

from ping and speed tesst and the like i have done, i would always advise south africans to download from europe rather than the us. if you can avoid the us, asia and australasia.

my problem is that i prefer to use the ssl address. and that only has one address afaik.

NO its not, I'm using the SSL server in EU. there are 3 adressess for SSL servers
 
why not try switching to GigaNews??? I have not yet had a single day over the past 2 years where I have had an issue with GN....
 
i think the price is the factor for staying with astraweb
btw ppl what package are most of you on with astraweb, do you pay a monthly fee or pay for pay by download plans

stupid question...but what's the difference with using an SSL server?

On Astraweb for me, I get a constant 425 kB/s , and very rarely see it go over 440KB/s , Does anyone that uses giganews get over 440 kB/s ? I mean then what are you paying extra for?

the download speed is what your line can handle, i.e - i usually get just about 440.
If you got a 8mb line then the max speed would be 1024KB/s.

The reason people use giganews is people generally feel you get less problems with giganews servers. i.e errors or missing files (which can easily be rectified by reloading the missing pieces)

Giganews top account (platinum) = $24.99 with 10 connections
Astraweb top account (kleverig) = $11.00 with 20 connections
 
damn...do you store all that stuff or you watch and delete the movies
 
We should lock gary in a room and give him 1 gig to keep himself busy. I wonder what would happen?
