I'm using astraweb, but it seems they're deleting what I'll call the important downloads for my media center. Does anyone know of any USENET providers that don't sway to the whims of Hollywood?

Re: Suggestions for a good USENET provider
I have been using astrweb for about a year now. I have not seen any problems downloading "important media center" files. The only difference I see after switching from GigaNews is my bill is halve of what it was.naviathan wrote: I'm using astraweb, but it seems they're deleting what I'll call the important downloads for my media center.

Re: Suggestions for a good USENET provider
I'm trying out newshost right now and it appears to be working better. I'm not sure how sensitive this forum is, but I've had downloads of certain movies stop right in the middle of the download and never finish. From what I've gathered it's because the files are being deleted to comply with drm pressures.

Any experience with this one ?sander wrote: If not: 2.50 Euro per month: http://www.lightningusenet.com/
As I never heard of it.
I use http://www.xsnews.com , paid version.
One good thing about the BASIC & PRO is that you can share the connections
Speed is very good , so whe you have 8 connections .. you can have 4 & a friend can have 4 .. so you share the cost ;-)
Re: Suggestions for a good USENET provider
I'm using it (next to ipv6.xsnews and newszilla6) and it seems quite nice. No line speed, though: I seem to get 6 Mbps or so. But not fully tested.rascalli wrote:Any experience with this one ?sander wrote: If not: 2.50 Euro per month: http://www.lightningusenet.com/

For 2.50 Euro you get 30 days of access. It's certainly worth a try.

Re: Suggestions for a good USENET provider
do you know what is the retention for Usenet Lightning?
Re: Suggestions for a good USENET provider
Just an update. NewsHost rocks. No problems, 900 day retention, unlimited downloads and every download that starts so far has finished.
Re: Suggestions for a good USENET provider
I think lightning says 410 days retention.
Navi, what provider are you referring to? I cant find one just called 'news host' ?
