I just signed up, it's 1/2 what I'm paying supernews and it's a tiny bit faster too. I'm giving this a go, I can always go back to Supernews  Still interested in finding a good blocksale too

If the problem is that severe I think a change in main provider is called for. Block accounts are intended to be for the odd time that main providers fail, as opposed to the norm.

Most sites will provide you with newsnab API details so you can add your own. I'm not aware of an update to the defaults or the non-newsnab site list.

I'm finding news demon to be fine for most things honestly. I'd be tempted to keep the $5/MO deal as it's the best I've seen, even above blocks. Perhaps see if you can find a non-highwinds provider with a low rate and use 2 plans instead of a plan + block account?

Honestly, at $5/mo... Keep. News demon no matter what you do. If you see a cracking deal on another provider, get it and run both for a bit to see if you like it. I switched from super news to news demon, and find it better.

Honestly I'd rather pay a few bucks than deal with "you must seed to eighteen times what you download or we'll put you on warning, then if it's not 30‰ improved in 12 day, we will initiate formal correction procedures through our council of elders, and if it's not changed before the new Moon, you will be excommunicated"

sedative posted:If anyone had one of those really cheap Black Friday deals from NewsDemon you should login to your account and see if you're still active. They say they lost some billing data and there's nothing you can do except sign back up at the normal price. They never sent an email or alerted anyone in any way. Well... that poo poo just made me go off to get a $15 per two months Astraweb account. It's easier to find Highwinds Block Accounts than it is Astraweb ones so I'd rather pay $2.50/mo extra for my primary and have a wider pick of block accounts. BTW, this list of providers was a good "at a glance" for unlimited accounts if anyone was looking: https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/2gqsln/newsdemon_still_losing_accounts_a_week_later_wow/ckn22xx

MrEnigma posted:My NewsDemon (Black Friday $5/month) account was wrong as well. The funny thing about this, is that I made sure to cancel my account so they couldn't ever reactivate it somehow, when I was doing that they said, WAIT DO NOT LEAVE YOU HAVE A 70.65% DISCOUNT AND YOU WILL LOSE IT. I even tried the link that said "have a month for $5 before reverting to your normal rate"... That did not reactivate my account (at all), so I canceled.

visuvius posted:Yes same here. I'm on a $7 a month unlimited plan which seems pretty sweet but then half the poo poo I try to pull doesn't download. I need a good solid backup source which might just become my main source. Astraweb has been consistent for me in the week I've used it, and it's $15/2months so about the same price.

So I just spent a couple of days struggling with virtualizing my Plex Server, File Server and Downloaders. Now they are on 3 separate guest OSes, mainly so I can play with one without affecting the others (exception of course being the file server). But that's not the point. Firstly, here is a good guide to NZBGet setup on Ubuntu (says server but will work on any variant). The main tip I have for new NZBGet users is to use absolute paths in your configuration It was giving me absolute hell until I did so. This is especially true if you find you can download NZBs you manually add which do not have a category, but ones added searching clients (which typically do use categories) won't unpack, saying something like Cannot Create directory in the logs. Two questions I still have: 1. Anyone know if I can use the terminal version of NZBget when it's started in daemon mode (e.g. by my init script). I've been reading the command line reference, but this is the result of the connect and list commands: code:

Gromit posted:I'm currently with Supernews for $10/month. Is Astraweb at $7.50/month like Squack has posted going to be any different to me? I expect not, and would be happy to save a few bucks each month. But if Astra sees a lot more DMCA takedowns or anything I'll stick where I am. I did a similar move (but went to newsdemon before astraweb) and think that I see less dmca take downs now. In general, Astraweb has a reputation of being the least susceptible out of the large providers (for comparison, supernews is a highwinds reseller and highwinds appears to get a lot of dcma take downs and acts very quickly) But this is very subjective. No two experiences are alike. The best option is still an unlimited plan with a block on another provider. My block is with blocknews

This is the correct thing to do. VIP on at least one and collect as many as you can. Keep the accounts active. If one falls, move to others. And you may as well load them into Sonarr/CP, use the API hits you have for free.

Vykk.Draygo posted:IIRC, they claimed that they lost all the billing info for certain customers (who just happened to be power users on the cheap Black Friday plan) and kicked them off their plans. Exactly that. I was on a $5/mo plan when they had a mysterious "hard disk failure that affected some customers, resulting in their info being lost". Your only option? Sign up on a more expensive plan (around $8-9/mo). They were quickly detected doing this, I doubt they got the business they were expecting. Anyway, I won't touch them again.
