I'm getting slow-downs with astraweb recently. It will download all day at 25mbit/s (my ISP max) and then suddenly vary wildly between 0kb/s and 500kb/s. I've tried switch between SSL and non-SSL and different ports. Any idea what's going on?

ISP is Verizon FIOS if it matters.

Yes. I probably should fix that up.

Please do :( I'll even donate a few dollars your way once it's working again if you have a donate button anywhere.

So it looks like newzbin2 and some other large indexer are complying with takedown requests to certain things. Most recently "hunger games" listings were completely removed from all search results. Do you guys think this is going to start getting worse and eventually neuter these services?

Which works better with SABnzbd?

edit: missed mod note about not asking for invites. sorry!

Seems like the best place to ask: any recommended proxy providers for use with regular torrent clients? Seems easier to setup than a VPN.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this random problem - Every so often, I'll end up getting horrifically slow speeds through Astraweb. If I go and change the server address and port, it seems to resolve the problem, but this happens at random, and only sometimes resolves the slowness. Has anyone else encountered such a problem while using Astraweb?

I've been using SABNzbd+ for years now, and have never really delved into the scripting portion or SickBeard, or anything else - as a long-time user of SAB, is there something more I should be using/doing?

Sometimes Astraweb will be slow as balls or stop working entirely for me, too. It never seems to last more than an hour, and it doesn't happen all that often that I notice.

I think Sickbeard is just if you want stuff to automatically download for you. I personally don't mind just looking up new stuff once a week and SB sounds like a pain to setup.

Why is it that there never seems to be any sites for a lot of the "release groups" or whatever they're called? It seems like such a group of people would at least have a web presence.

I don't know, what benefit do they get from spending so much time uploading content on Usenet?

Sucks that Newzbin2 closed. Could have at least stayed open to let us use remaining time and just not accept new payments.

I made a thread for people to put their NZB.su invite codes in.

Coupons can't be seen by the public so it's goon-only.

Did anyone else's NZB.su account stop working? I've tried logging in with all my possible username password combos and none work. Forget password option doesn't work either. I assume they just scrubbed some non-premium accounts. I use it pretty regularly though so I can't imagine it was due to do inactivity. I used a real email address for it too.

Also agreed that Astraweb has been really lovely recently. I keep it out of laziness and have Blocknews for times when I want something right now and Astraweb is slow.

I downloaded NzbDone and I'm having trouble with it:

-It doesn't detect the series I have already downloaded, even when I downloaded it through NzbDrone
-It often doesn't find any episode to download, or sometimes it will only be like a single episode out of 16 when I try to do a whole season
-I tried changing the resolution option to see if maybe there just weren't any 1080p available but the interface freaks won't let me save a series to the root folder and gently caress manually making a folder for every series which is what it seems it wants me to do.

I sometimes come across certain series that seem really diligent about take-down requests. Bob's Burgers is an example. Naturally I only know this because I look at the take-down requests.
