They have also updated their 25 dollar pay per download pack to 180gb,so if you download less than 57.6gb p/m, this is the way to go.

It also supports up to 50 connections and ssl aswell.

Thats a bloody good deal,60Gb per month is alot in Ireland considering most of the ISP providers cap the download limits

For anyone using newzbin, there are some excellent greasemonkey scripts here - http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=newzbin

Be sure to pay in US dollars (click US flag at the top), because they're charging €72.56 in Euros, $96 is currently €68.55 in Euros.

Guys i have been with newshosting for the past three years.

I am a bit confused about the "DSL" bit in the offer.

I assume that if one is on a cable internet connection it is ok?:o:)

It's just the name of the package. Your type of internet connection doesn't matter a jot.

Thanks, just signed up. Already a customer but this makes things cheaper:)

wow it sounds great

I'll have to remember this when I get home in September, hopefully the deal will be as good.

teejay

Cheers OP - that is a great deal. Waaaay cheaper than powerusenet who I had been using

moonboy52

are there any boardies who have previously been on newshosting and transferred to astraweb?

Any noticable difference in speeds / incompletes etc?

It certainly is a good deal but need some reassurance before signing up for a whole year.

Cheers Guys

I moved from rapidshare (it's not a newshosting site) to astraweb and never had any problems with it.

I moved to astraweb from giganews and have to say that find no difference at all

moonboy52

Good to know. Cheers guys. I still use rapidshare as a 3 month sub is cheap as chips

Is there any difference in download speeds? From reading their pages it seems like gigganews have a download accelorator
