the NHXL ones don't seem too bad, only 5 bucks more than usenetserver, how's their completion rate? everyone says 99% which is a lie. |
98-99%. Probably the last 100 GBs or so I've downloaded have been 100% complete as well. |
can I share my account? on usenetserver my gf used my account at the same time and they didn't care, giganews won't allow it. |

When i had Newshosting, you could be 2 on teh account at the same time, but i remeber getting an email from newshosting saying that if they see different IPs using the same account, the account will be canceled

I share my account. At first I received an email about it, but I sent one back saying screw you I use my account at home and work. They never send anything back and I've been sharing it even since. We don't use any more than the max # of connections allowed but I'm not sure if that affects it or just wouldn't work if we tried.

My room old room mate and i have decided to never tell anyone else about usenet. If people ask us how we get movies and such, we just say. Its quite complicated, you should just try torrents. If we can keep the majority of users on torrents, usenet may survive.

RS premium + private torrent trackers + IRC are more than enough for me.
As I have already gloated about this, nobody is safe now from copyrighters. Usenet junkies beware, you thought, they won't come to you, you thought, they are only after dumb p2p-ers. Get your shit too, suckers

nothing is 100 % safe. the point is, what chances do you have to get sued for using RS for downloading copyrighted material. How many other people were sued for getting copyrighted stuff from RS?
Thou I do understand one day, RS will face its destiny  |

Most people pay with their credit cards so they have access to your details very easily. And do you think a company will ignore a subpoena and risk losing the business, or will they just offer up some sacrificial lambs? The only thing driving it is people's egos so there is not much incentive for people to keep uploading under threats like this (unless they are secretly getting paid by usenext or whoever). |
not to mention that a business-modell that works on making money out of illegal downloads is bound to be targeted sooner or later anyways |

Nah, I was with them, and almost always there was something wrong with the files. Staying with Giganews, I think they are great.
