Re: Free Usenet Access - 1 Week - 200 Days Retention

$4/month for "200 days retention, unlimted download, 20 connections" sounds too good to be true. Anyone tried them before? I am currently on astraweb's $11/month deal, and paying 1/3 of that for the same service wouldn't bother me :) Look closely, their plans have speed limits. Hence why ...

Re: Newsgroup Provider

That's great pricing regardless. I might check them out just to see, hows the speed? I read somewhere that the service wasn't great, but I haven't heard back from NG in a few days either, although my speeds for most of today have been rock solid. I tried the reverse traceroute today, was pretty sol...

No download ETA?

Hi,

Unless I'm very dumb and am missing something, SABnzbd does not tell you how long is left on you're downloads! Well, 0.4.5 doesn't anyway. This is pretty stupid, seeing as its pretty much a major thing.

Using default theme. :)
