Cheers :)


I think I'm gonna give Zing's suggestion of Astra a try :)

Have just downloaded Grabit, & will have a look at Merlin's Portal.

Any recommendations on other clients or search sites?

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

For a client I use NEWSBIN, used it now for 5+ years

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

binsearch for raw serches ill also send you an invite to another that indexs and has raw but it costs 12p per week. Little tip if you do go with them top up to cover just till xmas as they do it half price then I top up a full year every xmas ;)

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

I use a news client called xnews. It's old now and no longer in development but we're old friends and it does all that I need.

Also, the filtering and killfile features are first-class, which you really do need with usenet. It's still the wild west out there.

I use Newzbin for the search, News Rover to download and extract, (+search) and NewsDemon for newsgroup access. (News Rover is free with NewsDemon).

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

yeah am with newsdemon myself as well... and using Newzbin and grabit to download :) works a treat...double bonus 1 month I didnt have enough dosh in my bank account for the paypal transfer and since then I've been using newsdemon for free (6 months now) and its the all unlimited version for which I was paying £12 p/m (didnt have ssl)

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

Thank's to Zing, I have just switched from Giganews (user since 2004) to Astraweb (I used use Pay per download before) to save quite a bit of cash really.

I use SABnzbd+ (Python Service) as my download manager in association with Newzbin and the nzbd Firefox addon.

One click download heaven ;)

Hi everyone, i am a new user to this forum, and I am looking for someone that uses newzbin to send me an invite.

Another thanks to David for the Astranews link which I subbed to the $11 special last night. After the us exchange rate has gone south I'm now saving a couple of quid a month, and even better my header downloads are now compressed so saving me a lot of time in the mornings...

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

Have they dropped there price to $10 unlimited

Re: Best cheapest newsgroup to purchase
 

The $10 unlimited is restricted to 1Mb speed, the Unlimited DSL $15 a month (no speed limits) is the one on the $11 special
