Best unlimited usenet providers?

[Sinda72]

I've used giganews in the past, but there were too many takedowns lately. I've changed to xlusenet.nl. It still doesn't have everything but it's better then the US alternatives.

I dunno Astraweb has been poor recently for me, or maybe I'm just too slow at getting to the files... I hate to admit it but I've been using torrents behind a VPN!... oh the shame!!

I'm using NewsDemon servers and since Friday (19 Sept. 2014) I can't download anything with NewsBinPro. All bars turns red and at the logging section it says that not such article found or failed to retrieve article from server. Does anyone know what's happen with NewsDemon servers?

Check your NewsDemon account to make sure it's still active. They apparently "lost" a drive with some peoples' account info. See this Reddit thread:

Can anyone advise how Supernews compares to Astraweb ?

Missing 'blocks' or completely missing (DMCA'd), there's a big difference.

There's still, in this age of error checking uploaders (JBinup) way too many folks are still using creaky old PowerPost and it's variants on flacky or semi-flacky server plants that either skip (or fade) the post in their own plant, or have major distribution (propagation) problems out to other usenet servers. And then they (the posters) don't do due diligence in propagation checking to (or thru) major plants (like Asta, Giga, Unsnet-News, Blocknews).

Supernews is Giganews. I would choose neither Supernews nor Astraweb. They are both bad IMO.
