NGD is not the greatest as they are a High Winds reseller, but this is about the cheapest block deal available. Most items listed on your indexer of choice will still be available. I use them as my primary with Astra as my backup. Astra is USD $50 for 1TB.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2015

      thanks for post

      though with drop in AUD, it properly similiar price to when it was on special for $60-70

      • snuke on 28/11/2015 - 10:55

        I looked at that, it cost me more the last two times I topped up, so I added 4TB.

        • tyler.durden on 28/11/2015 - 10:59

          how much did it cost back then in AUD?

          So u just added 4TB now with this deal?

        • snuke on 28/11/2015 - 15:29

          @tyler.durden:

          USD $55 is Au $76 now, I paid USD $70 in July at basically the same conversion rate, based on where the currency is going and my usage rate, it seemed lie a sage bet to get 4TB.

  • tyler.durden on 28/11/2015 - 09:29

    Are there other providers with better retention rate?

    • snuke on 28/11/2015 - 09:32
      +2

      No idea, retention rate is not usually the issue, DMCA's are normally what will kill something first.

  • trip0d on 28/11/2015 - 10:19

    Good deal! I switched to these guys from AstraWeb when it was $70 for 2TB. Haven't had any issues, speed is very good too (if not better!).

  • leyton01 on 28/11/2015 - 11:16

    I've been having issues with incompletes on Astra web probably DMCA but it seems to be quite widespread and random. Would this be a better option?

      They're on a different Usenet backbone
      http://www.usenet-providers.net/newsgroup-resellers.php

      IMHO Tweaknews is one of the best for completeness/slower to remove DCMA flagged content.

      • testeagles on 28/11/2015 - 12:09

        Tweaknews was good but were bought out by highwinds about 6months ago.

        • [Deactivated] on 28/11/2015 - 12:13

          oh there ya go! Have you found they've gotten worse? I haven't noticed any difference, but I have 4 different block providers, include newsgroupdirect, it's been awhile since I've had any incompletes.

        • testeagles on 28/11/2015 - 12:52

          @supabrudda: i havent noticed too much as i try not to grab things too old. I have noticed that they tend to still have the missing parts that have been removed from my thundernews (also highwinds) account on the odd file

  • cheepo on 28/11/2015 - 12:01

    Has it expired?

  • spuderump on 28/11/2015 - 13:04

    I use tweaknews and usenet.farm as a block account… Never have any issues.
