More Rapid Takedowns

Not sure if I noticed that, I'm on Astraweb, but then I do not download "popular" content. Would be bad if even the scrambled posts started being taken down...

Check your newsreader logs next time. Astra will tell you when an article has been DMCA'd.

Cool, never knew about "DMCA Removed" in logs, thanks for the info

I've found certain things are gone within 30mins sometimes. It's a pain.

I gave up on Astra after stevefs replies in a Newsbin forum thread regarding automated takedowns.

I gave up on NewsDemon as the take downs were so fast it was a waste of time. All Newsgroup Servers do take downs some are slower than others. The other way is to use Block Accounts to make up the difference.

I have used giganews for 10 years now and have only seen 1 or 2 things removed. People will post that it was removed from giganews, but it works fine for me. I think they just don't want to say which cheaper provider they are using.

Again, it's been a while so I don't remember the price but I haven't used up the block yet and rely on it for stuff that I might miss because it has been taken down quickly. I got 250 gigs and have only used 50 so far and it's been quite a long while so I'm happy with the arrangement.

hope i will also get this email, Tweaknews does take a while.. maybe because they're flying under the radar.. if you don't mind me asking does the block expire and how much was it for 250gb.. may bite on this deal if offered to me..

The block does not expire and as I stated I don't recall the price. I think it was half of their regular rate.

Thanks.. Will check into it

I use Tweak with the EU servers. Things still get taken down but it is slower. I have had more incompletes (even with pars) on their servers lately.

I haven't noticed as many takedowns on Astraweb lately. There was a time when you had to grab the primetime stuff ASAP or run into a DMCA takedown. I haven't run across any shows that have been taken down so quickly in months.
