I wrote an email to them (newshosting.com) asking abut alternate methods of paying and it seems that they do allow you to pay by paypal, so if there was anybody who wasn't using them just because they didn't have the correct credit card, now you have no excuse.

Just out of curiosty could you ask them if our referral still applies in that situation..

Banner looks really nice and it's cool how it only shows in the Newsgroup section.
But I'm still sticking with Easynews though cause I got no use for an Unlimited account anyway,otherwise I might've signed up with them through here.

Just out of curiosity,do they offer webbased access to usenet as well?

I've been reading up on newsgroups and i was wondering
A) what sort of prices are you happy paying for newsgroups
and
B) if you can get fast otrrents would it be a better idea to use them instead?

I pay 7,50 euro.

If you pay per GB then it's better to use torrents with a decent speed

Pay unlimited and get stuff faster, no uploading, and more avaiable. You'll forget how to use torrents.

Limited accounts have access to WebNews.
Unlimited accounts NO NOT have access to WebNews.

I did a search for "Filesharingtalk" for a referral account and found none. If you can send me their ID# or the link of their site to us I will be happy to give them the credit.

BTW since I have a 2mbit line is it more worth it that I get unlimited or a limited connection.
Considering I probably not stretch there unlimited line by very much....???
Is there a good quantity of stuff available at newshosting, is there more available than on most bittorrent sites and iRC.
Has everything been labelled properly, I am getting sick and tired of people recompressing Release names so that you cannot see who made the release and so on.
How many MP3's are there on there?
Is it worth cancelling my DVD-Rental subscription to get this instead?

It's not like kazaa. you need to wait until someone uploads what your looking for. but there are alot of albums posted!!

[Peerzy]

In the main MP3 groups theres upwards of 6 million files and about half a million new ones posted each day. Its worth getting the unlimited as theres hardly a price difference and you will use it.

Everything is labled right, theres no fakes and maybe 2-3 viruses out of those 6 million files.

Cancel your DVD Rental thing buy 200 dvd-rs and start leeching.

Newgroups are great, to be honest, been using them for years. The only bad thing about them now, to be honest, is that so many other people are becoming aware of them. If you want them to be around and as good as they are for a good while yet, I suggest all of you STOP telling everyone you know how wonderful they are, because you'll only be hastening their demise.
