Recommend me a Newsgroup provider

giganews > all

I'm fairly sure if you sign up to the top package you get Newsleecher for free as well....
Always max my 10mb Virgin/NTL connection :)
 
Anyone used easynews? I've been with them for awhile now. £5 for a months use or 20GB download. Are there more files on giganews? Do they have a website were you can just search and download or do you have to use a newsreader?

I had the same problem with Newshosting recently and I found that changing the port number in my newsreader fixed it.

Newshosting use these ports: 119, 23, 25, 80, 3128, 7000, 8000 and 9000

Port 7000 is very fast for me and on my 10MB cable I download at 1.15MB/s

A lot of people don't know this.
3128 does it for me and I have to download 4 files at the same time.

i'd check your net first, im on the 10mb package too and it sucks. atm i get 2mb downloads.

you can forget 10mb at peak times too, the only time i get my full speed is early morning to noon and after 1am.

20mb is out this month or next aswell, not sure how thats going to work when the 10mb dont.


as for a provider try these, when my nets working i get the full 1200kb/s http://ngroups.net/

71+ days retention, unlimited d/l's but they do have a fair usage policy but you'll never reach that limit and they dont do much if you do tbh (speaking from experience) all for $14.99 a month or less if you order more than 1 month.
