Astraweb Unlimited DSL 12 Month Plan - $96 Year Usenet £5.40
Yes the original deal has expired for this...
However...
Signup using the direct link

Then email customer services quoting your subscription number you are given when sigining up and they will manually create your account for you (they emailed me back within an hour to set it up).
Works out as £5.40 per month and this is for unlimited downloads and unlimited speed.
Will be using it on my new 20mbit sky ADSL2+ broadband when it comes in next few days :)
Here's the blurb...
# No Speed Limits
# No Download Limits
# Exactly the same as Unlimited DSL Plan

EDIT - Sorry for incorrect retention information I just copypasted the blurb from the old deal. It is definately 595 days and not 400 and something as first posted :)

It does sound confusing before you start using it but then it really is as simple as torrents.
Use Astraweb as the provider.
Nzbmatrix as the site to get all of your downloads. Cost £7 for a lifetime membership but easily the best site. There are loads more though. Merlins portal and binsearch are also really good. Equivalent of demonoid, piratebay, isohunt etc
Grabit (Free) as a newsreader. The equivalent of uTorrent.
Use Quickpar to repair any broken parts of the download.
Use 7zip or Winrar to extract the file.
Im sure they were aiming for 600 days at one point so either they stopped at 595 or they have 5 more days left.
I use astraweb and pay about 7 to 8 pound a month on my current monthly plan. Absolutely brilliant service and had no trouble whatsoever.

newzbin is better for indexing
I like Altbinz better, although it's not open source.
Newzbin has just lost a court case against the Motion Picture Association, will be intereting to see what happens to them.

Thanx sozzle my bad lazy copy\pasting of deal info from old expired deal.
Newzbin is screwed and a really ugly site compared to Nzbmatrix.
A lot of users have moved from newzbin over to the matrix and have already commented how much better it is and worth the £7.

dont really see it as being screwed but interesting a few people talking about nzbmatrix may give it a try
