75% of my downloads fail using giganews + mimo client

Also 10 years IS a lifetime, or rather life expectancy.

NZBmatrix's VIP was supposed to be LIFETIME. When did it get cut back to 10 years?

Not that it really matters. Judging from recent history, I'd say it's rather unlikely that a major filesharing site like NZBmatrix will still be around 10 years from now.

I've not encountered that slow-speed problem since last summer. I'm sure Readnews has upgraded their system substantially since then, because last November Ngroups and Usenet-News dumped a lot of new users onto Readnews servers when they switched from Highwinds, and there was barely a hiccup.

mimo really sucks - this is my high level power user assessment for today, also I would rather have a root canal with no anesthetic than pay Giganews redonkulous prices
