    Signed up there 2 weeks ago and it gets my two thumbs up. Only thing i don't like is the lack of labeling (formatting and sources) with newzbin.

    Just a quick two q's:

    Can two computers be set up to use the same account provided there connected to the same router/i.p?

    Is it possible to download from say my mates broadband provided i'm the only person using the account at that time?

    Not trying to beat the system just don't wanna get banned! :)

    Just like to say thanks to the OP and everyone else who offered up advice in this thread.. I'd never realised how powerful (and fast) usenet was. I'd been using torrents but was getting unbelievable crap speeds considering I have 20meg broadband. Damn throttling. I've signed up to astraweb and downloaded a 6gig+ file in just over one hour as a test run... amazing stuff.

    If any super generous soul has any of those newzbin invites left It would be gratefully accepted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 228 ✭✭redshoulder


    I would also like an invite to newzbin if possible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭Funkyzeit


    Signed up today - class - getting serious speeds nearly 10% faster than usenetserver was giving me (aswell as being 25% cheaper) Thanks OP. Also tried out sabnzb - nice little program.

    Another scrounger here so if anyone has any invites to newzbin you might be as kind to Pm me. I'll buy you a beer*

    * A virtual beer only...

    If I sign up for a 120GB package (to test it out) am I precluded from using the special offer? In other words, is it for new users only?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    Why would you do that? the 120gb is 25dollar why not just get the 11 dollar one for a month???????

    120gb's for E18 sounds good to me.I may only download 2 or 3 gigs a week.
    You could get 654 gigs a year with this 1 off payment for the same money you'll pay for 12 months use of the unlimited package.

    The unlimited offer is extremely tempting though.If i did get this i feel i'd have to get Newzbin aswell to get the best out of it which would throw on another E45 a year.

    A years worth of newzbin would be around 20euro, although just cover enough until christmas and top up with the half price deal.

    Try doing a search for "Legal action against Newzbin" in Google.

    Just something i stumbled across that some people may not have been aware of.I don't think it'll put anyone off joining anyway.

    I don't understand the obsession with newzbin. I find nzbmatrix superior and their free account (I know it's only 20days retention) is good enough to try things out without throwing more money away.

    That's one big no for me, though free anything is always good if it suits someones needs.

    20 Days ha whats the point in have 365 days rentention with Astra Web. And while you may think its throwing away money i think its money well spent, And its not exactly breaking the bank even with the reccession.

    It's $5 a month when you sign up here http://www.newsbin.com/users/signup.php?&price_group=2&product_id=1

    Maybe it's less signing up through Newzbin.com i don't know.

    That's not newZbin, that's a usenet software with built in search engine.;)

    How does the premium credit system work?
    Premium credit is bought in blocks of weeks, and each week costs £0.3 sterling. Newzbin can safely and securely charge your card directly in order to purchase premium credit. You will be directed to a secure SSL link after clicking your card type.

    This 52 week topup will cost £15.60.

    It is a little annoying having to pay for all the little bits of the different services just to get one overall service (if you know what i mean) - but once you get going, tis very good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,715 ✭✭✭Gryzor


    any other newzbin invites knocking around??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭Funkyzeit


    Nzb matrix is alright - even if the nzb is over than 20 days you can then find it on nzbrsurs (the one I use primarily) or nzbindex.nl

    Does anyone know what free search/index sites have the highest retention?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭aaronm13


    Messing around with Astraweb and sabnzbd for a few days now.I have 20mb with upc and the average speed I'm getting is only around 800-900KB/s,should I not be getting much better speeds?Bear in mind I'm totally new to newsgroups so chances are I haven't got things configured correctly yet.Does anyone have any idea where I could be going wrong or point me to a site that has a good set up guide for beginners,thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    I assume your using the European Astra Server? I am getting 2363k on 20mb UPC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭aaronm13


    Yeah its the eu.news.astraweb server on port 119.So your getting about 3 times the speed I am so I was right about something not being correct.Again this is all new to me so should I be port forwarding the 119 port in my router like you need to do with utorrent etc.?Just checked there and it's only about 600kb/s now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    Change port to : 443 make sure you have 20 connections.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭aaronm13


    Thanks Dan.Thats after booting speed up to about 1500KB/s so still a bit short of your speeds.Is there any other tweaks I could try to get a bit more speed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    Nope your still KINDA in peak times so hopefully it will speed up itself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭aaronm13


    No bothers.Cheers for all your help Dan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,244 ✭✭✭AntiRip


    Change port to : 443 make sure you have 20 connections.

    Might make no difference but you can try port 563 as well ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,301 ✭✭✭irishguy


    I have a few invites for newzbin if anyone is interested? PM your email address
