Im looking at getting my own newsgroup subscription, as my current solution is very unreliable.

What are the best ones to go for?

giganews... prob the most expensive as well.. but hey.. anonymous connections as well as SSL encrypted options   -)

can i give my referal?

Sure, If I go that route.

Its a bit much though, cost wise.  Ive come across Astraweb, they are doing an unlimited offer for $11 a month.
# Binary retention rate - 665+ days
# Completion rate - 99%+
# Download speed - excellent
# Anonymous downloading and posting
# Uncensored newsgroup access
# Secure - free 256-bit SSL encryption
# Alternate ports - 119, 563, 443
# Special Offers - $11 unlimited Usenet

Ill bear Giganews in mind, if I have problems with Astra.

But first, Im trying to get SabnzbPlus running on my Linkstation

Ill second Giganews. Fantastic service and have EU based servers which is nice.
I dont feel like being a whore, so you can use Eggs referral

If youre going to go down this route its also worth taking a look at the NZB indexing sites. Newsbin and NZBMatrix are two; Newsbin has just been wrung through the courts though and is currently back in a new "second" life...

I couldnt manage to get SabNZBPlus to work on my Linkstation which is why its sitting unused under the sofa. I use NewsLeecher on Windows and set it to auto download / decompress.

And me, always get full speed on Virgin fiddy.

Ive hit a wall with Sabnzbd, so Im trying to get nzbget working.

Not used Newsgroups in years tbh but signed up to the Astraweb deal after spotting it here a couple of days ago, speed is great and maxes out my 20meg connection no matter what time I use it, cheers for posting it  

astraweb here too, since as long as I can remember
