Frugal vs Astraweb

[QUOTE=MrBogus;3765075]

That's what I recently experienced too. Tried to look for another provider and ended up re-signing with Tweak even without the discount. Experimented with the same post in bucket, tweak and cheap, and I could only get it complete from Tweak.

yes, thats what I found also. I assume Tweak will become like the rest of HW someday but for now they are still good. But without the discount I decided to look around rather than sign up again. Currently trying Astraweb and I'm happy with it.

I've been mostly happy with Astraweb which I have used for a couple years now. I also have a Tweak block account that I use up only when Astraweb comes up short. Things seem to be changing though and I might be due for a change. Any suggestions?

i was using tweak until the HW purchase. i recently switched to frugal and it is fast. but take downs are fast. under 24 hours.... cant find any reliable service .....

If you can't get something in 24 hours after posting then you are doing something wrong. Automate as much as you can. I don't think a company complying with laws makes them unreliable and I think 24 hours is pretty fair personally.

I used newhosting (Highwinds) for years till they started doing takedowns within the hour, and switched to astraweb sometime last year. It would be more likely on large blockbuster type movies and hbo shows (and hustler porn, for some reason would sometimes go quickly). I would check with nzbcc and they would be gone an hour later.
