I assume you might say contact my Usenet provider, but I thought I'd ask elsewhere also. I already sent them a support ticket.
I use Astraweb. Their website was down last night and their Usenet service. Not sure for everyone, but for me yes.
I had three things queued up to download.
Today it's back online and I was getting really poor speeds, so I cancelled the first file that had started downloading. Speed went up nicely and I re-added the first file.
Now, every file I download is pretty fast, but it stops at the last 6MB or 8MB or so and takes like 5 minutes to complete!
A lot of them have blocks short. Things that have been uploaded to Usenet in the past week.
Any suggestions?

Re: Any suggestions on this?
Probably Astraweb misses data.
Often their service doesn't seem to respond when you ask for missing articles.
This causes time-outs and retries.
This shows up at the end of a job, when SABnzbd is still timing out and retrying for minutes.
What is the time-out you set in Config->Servers for Astraweb?

Re: Any suggestions on this?
I also use Astraweb & was only aware of it shutting down from your notice. I tried to restart downloads which I had paused overnight - everything was working normally on the 2nd March. But have failed to make anything work today. Have purged the entire list of downloads & then reloaded just one item but Sab is just not able to do anything. So I am hoping things will improve over time when & if Astraweb gets back to normal.

Thanks for the replies. I tried one file tonight, March 3rd).. First 180MB flew by quick. Last 10MB took maybe 1 minute, but it's not as bad as it was yesterday. I have a support ticket open there.. so I'll point them here as well to read it and mention someone else had a similar problem.
I got Astraweb since it was cheap.. and for the most part it's been reliable.. I tried Easynews, which is a lot more expensive, but with that I was able to download a tv show uploaded to usenet close to 6 years ago! I was amazed.

Re: Any suggestions on this?
I spoke with support they said we shouldn't be seeing any problems now. I've only tried one thing and it went fine.
