tomm posted:That sounds good, actually. Are incompletes really common enough to warrant a blocknews account with Supernews? I'm reading up and there's a lot of debate, a lot of people seem to prefer Astraweb but in either case everyone recommends a blocknews account. I've never had any trouble with incompletes with Newsdemon. A 5gig blocknews account has worked fine for almost a year now. I haven't had to renew it yet. Unless you have a really bad host you'll rarely use more than a few megs to repair a broken download.

Gimperial posted:To be honest it's a pretty good deal, I've been using it since he posted it and have had great speeds and no problems with retention, at less than half what I was paying before. It looks like he did post it in SA-Mart, but he probably got autobanned for the 7 month rule. Bummer. Looks like a pretty nice deal, though.

I've had a Blocknews account running as my backup for a long time, they work perfectly. That 6.99 deal is extremely cheap. Are there any other providers that offer block accounts? I'd like a second backup as well. e: Hmm, can't seem to add 100gb to an existing account with that deal, probably have to create a new one. zeekner fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Nov 25, 2011 |

Yea, Just have a good primary provider, and a backup from a block provider on a separate network. Blocknews is great, but if you are already on their network you can look at an Astraweb block account too. Don't worry about how big the block is, you'll probably never reach the cap. I've had a 5gb blocknews account for at least a year, haven't even used half. Make sure to set the block account server as "Backup" in SAB, or you'll waste it.

frameset posted:Astraweb are offering 1TB for $50. Currently deciding where to refill my blocks, so i'm in the same boat. I have astraweb as my unlimited, pretty happy with them. They should do pretty well as a backup server.
