ask @Simonbuck about which usenet server is best as he has a paid subscription

I'm in the UK, but I've been using Newshosting.com who are US for the last 7 year's or so. Cheap, great retention and unlimited. There are slightly cheaper but I've not had a problem so why change.

Should have mentioned....... Newshosting have their own free newsreader program if you want to use it and it has its own built in rar repair and par monitor just like Newsleecher but better

Problem with Dutch payservers is that the mighty Brein (anti "piracy" organization which is allowed to operate above the law in The Netherlands) orders to damage files on their servers. Eweka for example was a good usenet provider but now it is almost impossible to download something that isn't damaged from them

Tim Kuik @Brein: ga eens even snel deaud idioot

Cheers for that. I think I need to configure it as I'm only getting 4mbs but its good
