Im looking for a paayserver that cn/has:
At least 30 days retention
98%+ completes
Unlimited usage for a month
At least 4 connecions (8 would be ideal)
NOT cap each connection
Could support a 7mb download line.
Price doesn really matter.
And btw giganews caps. Iv done about 300gb in 4 days and now i have been cpaped at like 100kb/s :angry:
If only Easynews didn't have the monthly dl limits,it would fit you perfectly. :)
Read the review on it here.
One thing to add though:
You have unlimited connections.
I use EasyNews...:)Quote:

Though no good for you, as i know you connect through multiple IPs :D

really? wow ill check that out sometime, and let you know :)
I personally still use giganews, never had any problems with them and still able to download files from over 50 days ago on some groups
just an update - i know that newshosting say they dont allow >1IP, but i have had no probs so far with 2 people occupying 2 slots each...i guess its cos im still relatively low on the amount of data dled - only using 2 x 1MB lines.
I'm using Newshosting myself and it's been great, max speed and everything on 3 connections. But a few days ago I had a speed upgrade, from 3mbps to 5mbps down, and now I'm having trouble maxing my speed on the full 4 connections. Should be grabbing at about 600kB/s but am averaging about 470-520kB/s. So I suppose Newshosting is a great usenet provider, until you reach the 4-5mbit level.Quote:

Also on the giganews account we all knew they had capped us because no matter what we were all stuck on the same speeds. I emailed asking them why and they said sorry we dunno were gonna cancel your account and refund you. They didn't refund us :dry: .
Newshosting update there website with down time and problems which is a nice as well.
but doesnt payservers use 1 IP for 1 account? you and your friends use 1 account?

Yep, between the 4 of us, we did at least that much. I'm not sure the official bandwidth usage, but I know I was grabbing at the very least 24GB a day for the 4 days. So there is my 100GB. :pQuote:

Finally got a payserver :D
Eweka
Downloadlimit : no
maximum speed : max 8 Mbit/s
Xpat support : Yes
Groups : All groups
Retention : 10 / 14 days
Upload : yes
Max number of connections: 4
Price per month : 7,50 Euro
Sounds like a good deal :D
thats pretty cheap - i pay $15 = £8 (yours is about £5.50) for newshosting, with a little more retention
Whats the completion like? and wtf is xpat?

ah right, like the newsleecher "standard" search, where you pick out a couple of groups and search them..cool
Retention of my payserver is now 23 days will be 30 soon :01:Quote:
