  Got to agree its a stonking service,
  
  Been using it for 3 years now and it never let me down once,
  
  on 50MBit Virgin it gives a download speed of 6050KBps constant, it never gives up under the strain, A very good provider at a bargain price.

  Been using them for a couple of years now after switching from usenetserver.
  
  Excellent retention and 20 connections.
  
  About what I pay too, good deal IMO.

  You must need a lot of diskspace :)
  
  I miss Virgin cable, we moved to a village last year and the only thing I miss is my old 20Mb Virgin cable service.

  I use Newzbin for NZB's and Newsleecher for downloads, very easy to use.
  
  Might give MZBMatrix a go for $10 though.

  How is sftp better? Not used it before.
  
  Usenet is a direct connection, torrents are peer to peer and you have to seed files.

  I use NewsDemon at just over £7pm too. Pretty decent and you also get NewsRover software plus the newsgroup search, which is a MASSIVE plus.
  Believe it's shot up since though. Ive got it at price in perp.

  So whats the difference between using these websites and using a torrent website such as isohunt.com?

  these will max out your connection speed and dont rely on seeders as you pay to connect to a dedicated server, you can also use a ssl encrypted connection. They are a little more difficult to use until you get used to them

  Just cancelled my subscription to astraweb. No fault in the service, just had email from newsdemon offering 50 ssl connections for $7 dollars a month about £4 pounds. Special offer for previous members.

  VM connection with the VMNG300 modem.
  
  DO NOT GET THE SUPERHUB. IF YOU DO, KISS YOUR SPEEDS GOODBYE.
