DDR4040 posted : which client are you using? I was getting a ton of those "repair failed, not enough repair blocks(xxxshort)" with an outdated version of SAB and was just chalking it up to DMCA's. Turns out upgrading to the latest version of SAB solved all of my problems. I went back and retried all of the failures using the same servers as before and they all completed without a single glitch. I haven't had a single repair failed since installing SAB 0.7.11. No idea what the problem was but they seem to have it back on track now.

or
»blocknews.net/

I just created request to delete astraweb account and I will delete usenetserver.com too.

but before that will be god to test mentioned server (trial account) to avoid "Download failed - Out of your server's retention " errors

Go to the link below, then enter your user-name/password. Then open a ticket telling them you're cancelling the service. I paid through Paypal with them, so I also went to Paypal and cancelled the subscription to Astraweb. Done and Done.

I signed up on 12/30 with them and it seems in the AM I can max out my connection at downloading at 6.25MB/s (50Mbps) but in the evening after I get home from work (when I do most of my downloading), my speeds are always awful. I download no more then 2MB/s in the evening. I tried all three SSL ports.

So I generally lurk, and I appreciate all the info I collect in this forum. So I thought I give back.

I bought the 60mbit »www.ssl-news.info/ with 25 concurrent connections last night for 1 month to give it a go. It easily maxed out my connection (40mbit)... It also had a few things that I couldn't find on my main provider »usenetserver.com

So far so good...

I actually did the same thing just now, I am getting 430s on luigi and honest horny vampires.

Yep, I'm using Dognzb also. It's been working great. The Admin at Dognzb really has the remote push dialed in. Since Dognzb has closed it's registrations I didn't mention it in my original post. But I definitely recommend Dognzb to help automate your TV and Movie downloads from usenet.

Have they addressed the issue of mislabeled shows? For a few days when I added them as a search provider I constantly got mislabeled episodes that were a completely different show and even a password protected episode.

Yes, the admin contacted the Newznab developers and they made some changes to better detect the usenet spam. The admin also made changes on his end to help with the issue.

To help minimize the impact of DMCA you can try to automate as much of your usenet downloads as possible using Sickbeard, Couchpotato and RSS. So that when desired content is indexed it is downloaded from usenet as soon as possible.

Of course it's not possible to automatically download EVERYTHING you will ever want but you can automate some of it.

Using dognzb for the most part comes pretty close to full automation as far as tv and movies are concerned. Just wish there was a manual link to push the queue to my sab instead of having to wait for the site to do it when I am browsing. All in all though is pretty much set and forget.
