Actualy downloading a copyrighted item is a civil issue the same as distributing the same item hence the companies claim a civil action against you and as distributing means they can claim more money than someone downloading a single copy they go for that instead. What is illegal is when you start charging for the item as you get into the realms of piracy and not just copyright infringment..
Anyway this thread is about Astraweb and not copyright
So back on topic we go..
I still don't have an issue with with Astraweb, can max out my 10Mb no matter how old the post is or whether I'm using the USA or EU servers..
In the end if you've moved to another supplier and you;re happy then good for you, if you stayed with Astraweb and are happy then good for you as well
