I've used usenext before but have to keep paying monies and dont really find many good things that I want on usenext becuz most of all its files are german stuffs..
So I see other pay news group services like giganews & newsdemon and I am wonderings if there is a free way to get good media files from newsgroups & usnets like you can with torrents..
Or is it best to just pay for a usnet service that is #1 ranking newsgroup usnet service..??
What is my best option..??
Well, you can check and see if your ISP offers Usenet access. Besides that, the best thing really to do is pay. There are free servers out there...if you can find them. But it's just not worth it in my opinion.
It's incredibly cheap nowadays. $11 a month will get you access from Astraweb. Or if you're not a heavy downloader, you can get a 110GB account for $25.
so pay services are best then.. what are the top 5 Usenet pay services available..??
Astraweb is $11 and it is unlimited so why would you pay $25 for only 110GB and call that heavy? I download that in less then a week with astraweb, its the best.Quote:

Maybe you should read his post again.. he said the 110GB account is best suited for someone who is NOT a heavy downloader ;)Quote:

but the $10/Month service limits your D/L Speed though to 1 Mbit/s ...??? http://www.news.astraweb.com/plans.html Plan Price Downloads Included Rate Limit Connections Unlimited $10/Month Unlimited 1 Mbit/s 20 I wan full speed, and download occasionally so maybe this plan is better for me ehh 110 GB $25 Once-Off 110 Gigabytes Unlimited 50 Now is this Astraweb give me the same features as my old usnext had..?? access to more content or less, does it have its own usnet client to download and unrar files in stuff..??
No, click on the banner at the top of this page, and you will get the $11 a month deal. You will then get unlimited speed. Without clicking the banner at the top of the page, this deal is usually $13 a month.
And yes, you'll have access to a shit load of content. But no Astraweb, does not provide a newsreader to download with. There's a thread on this board that lists a bunch of newsreaders, just do a quick search. I've recently switched to Sabnzbd+, and is now my absolute favorite. Alt.Binz is another very good reader.

So is Astraweb about the best deal around then or what..?? I like the pay per GB plan because i don't really download that often unless i find something really good that i can't find in a torrent search.. and If I did the pay per month serive i would just be wasting my money and GB So do any other Usenet services offer any better deals than Astraweb..??

Stop acting like a bitch on her rag. It was only a joke, get the fuck over it...Quote:

Not once in my post did I mention anything about you posting nzb's, so I don't know why the hell you brought that up. So if I offended you, than I apologize. Just next time, try understanding what a person is saying in a post first before replying to it.
asmithz, nobody is asking you to post NZBs or take hours out of your life to do something for the community. Nobody is paying you to link NZBs and nobody is paying money to download them.
Gratitude is earned by hard work and quality, as long as you provide one or the other, I believe a thank you is in order. But, don't expect people to be grateful because it is the internet, we're all anonymous and there's no money involved, I for one though, thank you for your efforts and please keep up the good work.
