  1. #11
    Can you provide an example of a post that can't be downloaded from Astraweb? I only need one msg-id to find it.

    To help with completion, however like most have been suggesting in this thread astraweb doesn't have a problem with completion generally.

    I'm not sure what client you're using, but in Newsleecher you would just set the US server to have a lower priority than you main server. Newsleecher will check your main server first, and if that fails it will go down the list of alternate servers (if you have more than one) in order of priority.

    Newsdemon is selling block for similar money. Apparently, they have a bad completion rate from what I read so not sure it's a viable alternative.

    NewsDemon charges monthly unfortunatrely. Blocknews never expires until you consume the whole bandwidth

    usenet-news.net - same readnews backend, nearly the same prices, excellent service overall. I've still got my first block account I bought in 2005.

    Lately, the Readnews servers are mirroring Highwinds completion which is not good.
