Purchasing a DDL premium account, which one would you pick?

[KFlint]

Usenet let me down many times with older stuff (that was easily found on DDL sites) and I'm getting tired of those incomplete transfers.

1) astrweb + blockews block account (fill server)= you''ll almost never see incompletes

2) could you PM me with several titles(5-10) you couldnt find. Its not to convince you in some way that you should't get ddl account but just for me- im interested in "impossible-to-find-it" stuff. thanx =)

as for your question. id recommend megaupload. But not if you are planning on uploading something via it. it tends to be slow even on premium accounts

1) Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a while now. I'm not exactly sure how many gigs to purchase, I'm guessing 100 gigs of fill goes a long way.
2)I don't really think there's really a better way to find stuff than using something like supersearch, right? That's what I use when I can't find a NZB. Maybe I don't know all the tricks.

supersearch's developer has gone AWOL again and SL has stopped indexing certain stuff + it doesnt search within archives.

Thanks for the low-down zot.

I'm especially curious on how long it takes for one of this leech hosters to download the file and spit you out the premium link though. I mean I know it depends on the file of the size, but are you waiting around a while for them to give you the premium link?

@Hypatia : Just as an example, can you find BBC - Yellowstone : battle for life, in 720p?

I found it on DDL and BT quite easily. Couldn't find it using supersearch or binsearch.info.

i guess you should download proper versions=) from Kaka


posters often upload using only short scene name so you can search using scene names - kaka-ybflpart1 or kaka-ybfl*

like this :

NEVER search with all these dots, years etc like for "Yellowstone.Battle.For.Life.2009.720p.BluRay.x264-PUZZLE" ( in our case)

i mean DONT enter the whole scene (or whatever)title

always simplify ur search. to get more results to process

Like "Yellowstone Battle Life" and set a size filter
or "Yellowstone Battle Life 720p"


the same releases on binsearch

Don't know what I did but it was quite easy to find indeed, think I put BBC Yellowstone battle for life...

Never thought of setting a min file size, that's a good idea to filter the usual crap.

[cherio]

zot has got the idea.

@Stabber
a leechbox provider only needs a few "unlimited" accounts to run their service. So it is feasible for them to operate. Most cyberlockers have hidden download limits that are high enough that the average member will not reach. In case their premium accounts run out of traffic, they have backup accounts they can use.

@KFlint
the links you want to get are pasted into textbox at your leechbox and downloaded to their servers. After the download queue is finished they give you links to download from their server that you can put into your download manager. So you are essentially remotely downloading like a seedbox. Files are available for around 24-48 hours then automatically deleted to free space up.

The security advantage is big because the file host never logs your IP.

@Funkin
leechboxes use Gbit lines so it will be fast. Of course speed may vary throughout the day depending on how many other users are downloading and how long the queue is.

[KFlint]

Interesting, thx!

Is there one leechbox provider you would particularly recommend? I only checked 2leech.com.

[Funkin']

Thanks, Cherio. That's the info I was looking for. The biggest files I really download are probably SD seasons packs. Something like 2-5GB big. But if these places are using a Gbit line that something like that shouldn't take very long at all to download.

And I'll second KFlints question. What leech provider would you recommend? Preferably one that offers a couple dollar trial period like 2leech.
