    Use xsusernet(free) also astra block 180gb £25 and best for me is newsgroupdirect 1100gb $50. 50 connections all are ssl protected.dga why do you only use 4 connections on supernews should be 30.

    Why use 30 SSL connections when 4x2 maxes out my connection (30Mbit), to add more would add overheads and create a greater load on the CPU for no gain.

    Thanks didn't know that.

    Xsusernet free? I would only use in frequently so this may be a good shout. Is it slow? Whats the catch?

    Depends what you download really.
    Astraweb, shouldn't really have issues with DMCA takedowns
    Newsgroupdirect, (i use) for films and music it's fine, some tv shows (mainly HBO) and console games will get DMCA takedowns within a short period of time.
    I use nzb checker for big files before downloading.
    Hitnews offer a free 3 day unlimited trial with no card details required.

    Used Altbinz for years without issue until i updated to the latest version and had minor problems, now using niouzeire+, simple and does exactly what it says on the tin.
    Sabnzb is a browser client and is less noob friendly but you can do much more with it.
