forgot to add that using giga or news hosting im using around 7 to 9 connections and using tweak its around 7 to 9 connections as well.this tops my speeds at around 4.5 megs per second--means i get a normal dvd5 in about 30 minutes or less.

Sickbeard, SABnzbd, Supernews, Nas4Free, XBMC

xennanews and ipv6 xsnews

blocknews(astraweb) -> sabnzbd

Newsleecher with their OEM usenet feed. Man, I miss the days when usenet was included with my internet subscription.

Then again I had 56kbs then. So I guess I don't after all.

Simple casual setup;
Newleecher/tweaknews & usenetbucket

Pretty basic. I usually just stream, but when I want something I use the free Hitnews service.

Newsbin, Astraweb (primary - unlimited), tweaknews (block - not needed for a long time now but always handy)

In the past forte agent and easynews.... times have moved on a lot thank god
