Tweaknews - Block 250GB after Free Trial 11 Euro

As many of the US Usenet providers (Astraweb, Blocknews, …) take down quite quickly, it can be useful to have a back-up in Europe.

I tried tweaknews out who offer a 10 day / 10 GB free trial.

At the end of the trial, I received an email inviting me to sign-up and they offer either 3 months for 9 Euro or a 250 GB Block account for 11 Euro - normally 30 Euro (which I went for as it should only be needed as a back-up).

Can't guarantee that you'll receive the invite for the reduced rate sign-up, but as its free, its worth a shot

    I got the same offers, suspect they're standard for those that take the trial and don't sign up for anything else during the trial period.

    I was sent 3 options -

    10Mbit, 10 thread, 3 months €9.95
    50Mbit, 30 thread, 3 months €17.95
    250GB block, 100Mbit, no expire €11

    They don't specify but I'm guessing it's probably 40 threads on the block accounts.

    • MetalPhreak on 06/01/2013 - 22:22

      It is 40 connections on the block account :)

    I had issues when I converted my trial account. I could not connect after the payment went through. Their (very slow) helpdesk response was "reset your password" which of course didn't do anything. I did eventually get it up and running but it was a frustrating/tedious process communicating with their support guys. Also, there is no way of telling how much you've used - no account info/login. In short, you get what you pay for. Caveat Emptor

    signed up for a free account
    il see how good it is

  • scrimshaw on 06/01/2013 - 15:33

    My password doesn't work, for some odd reason.

    Also, how come there isn't a login button on the website?

    • foobar on 06/01/2013 - 15:35

      I think you can only log in to check usage as per cartmans post above. When I joined for the trial, I was emailed everything I needed to know and then when I signed up for the 50Mbit 3 month deal, again I got an email, never actually logged into anything on the web.

      Gah the above reply was to your question before you edited :)

      • scrimshaw on 06/01/2013 - 15:39

        So you never checked your usage? And does the password you are using right now work on the https://www.tweaknews.eu/?page=usageoverview link?

        • foobar on 06/01/2013 - 15:42

          Yah my password does work to log in using that link but it doesn't tell me my usage as I'm on an 'unlimited' account. It seems that page is only really for block account users to track usage, basically useless for flat rate accounts.

  • muzzamo on 06/01/2013 - 15:38

    so how are tweaknews eu in terms of takedowns?

    • foobar on 06/01/2013 - 15:45

      Slow :) But it seems they do eventually occur.

    Tried to download a dmca content which is only about 70 days old and a lot of incomplete files. A waste of time.

      Whats your point?

      ALL Providers have takedowns. Some are slower then others.

  • Martini on 06/01/2013 - 16:10

    Excuse the ignorance, what is this service exactly?

    • lostn on 06/01/2013 - 16:34

      If you don't know, you probably don't need it.

      • Tamps on 07/01/2013 - 09:09

        Hey Can anyone pm an invite to a decent indexing site?

        • lostn on 08/01/2013 - 00:48

          Use a nzb search engine like binsearch or nzbclub. It's your best bet. The ones posted in forums get DMCA'd.

      • Martini on 09/01/2013 - 16:02

        I bet you got all your scout badges first, before everyone else.

  • Dmd on 06/01/2013 - 22:31

    i've downloaded my 10GB.. now just waiting for my email to sign up :)

    • The Toastcutter on 11/01/2013 - 09:50

      Same here. I'd expect there'd be no special offers until at least the end of the 10 days though.

  • The Toastcutter on 17/01/2013 - 09:41

    Got my email yesterday. Same offer as above.

    Thanks OP!
