Supernews or Astraweb

[whiteboy]

Im using supernews but the sheer fact that astraweb has almost 100 days more retention is making me think I should cancel supernews before they bill me again.

Is there any real reason not too? I only get 350kb/s downloads so Im assuming they can max that out all the time.

They seem to be having issues I'll probably wait another month to see if they can fix things.

I've found that many older NZB's are incomplete on Astraweb.. I've downloaded tons of HD movies and many are missing 5-10 rars that I have to try and find other places because they're not available on any Astraweb server and I don't have enough blocks to repair, even though they say it's 470 day retention and 99% complete..

I've actually gotten fed up and I bought a megaupload account to go along with my Astra sub.. Anything older than 150-200 days I just get with MU to avoid incompletes.

Same here. Thats very unfortunate. I just paid for this month on Supernews so I will wait that out anyways

Well to be honest, you missing 150 days of content staying with Supernews....I've been finding myself downloading old TV shows I cannot find at the rental stores here (we have like 15 in the general are if not more ) and most are at 400-450 days and work great

Yah I agree with you there. I just keep reading about the issues they are having. I never really find anything that is older then 350 days. But I'd rather have that retention.

I still have a few days to cancel super I might go for it. Has astra been going good lately? Are you getting full speeds always? (I'm in the US)
