Best Internet Tools

much appreciated Komp, I'd like to give it a go.

Throttling as in my internet running slow, i.e pages taking ages to load.
I'm beginning to think I'm being restricted as I was only getting a fraction of the speed I was getting originally and still pages are loading slow, I need to do a BB speed test.

I'm also getting some crc errors now on my downloads but I think thats because the downloads are taking longer and longer to download and I'm having to pause them now and again so I can use the Internet.
I'm going to do a reboot and try again.

I've been reading about that most of the night Komp, I'm beginning to get a bit pissed off as they only have a 7 day retention too which i only found out about after subcribing to Newzbin and trying to download some older stuff.
looks like i might have to pay for a newsgroup provider, I'll read up as i know you mentioned one earlier on in this thread.

I've seen Astraweb being mentioned a few times but I'll have a good scout about b4 comitting myself to anything.

I''m gonna give newsdemon a try me thinks, they have an offer on at the moment for superunlimited with 50 connections for £4 quid for the first month and £6 quid thereafter, usual price 20 dollars whatever that equates to.

I'm really pissed off now, subscribed and paid up with Newsdemon and find out I'm still getting throttled, on further reading Virgin Media are throttling any newsgroup provider

Only ray of hope is that it seems to be during peek hrs only, I'll find that out in hlf an hr, it also explains why I was getting max speeds and then all of a sudden going at a snails pace.

Aye I'm being throttled by the cnuts even though I'm not now using VM newsgroups, it's gone midnight now and I'm getting max speeds.
looks like I'll have to queue my downloads and set them off when i go to bed.

Cheers Komp, I actually got a free copy of newsrover when i signed upto newsdemon, ain't used it yet mind.

That nzbindex looks interesting though, I'll have a bash at that now.

Just re-tuning my satellite setup first though as it's fcuked up through me pissing about with it installing various plugins, I knew I should have left the cnut alone.

Looks like I'll have to do all my downloading on a Friday as I've been getting top whack speeds all night.

Komp you need to try sabnzbd, it downloads the files, unpacks them into any directory you wish then dels the remnant rar files all in one arrow, saves a lot of fcuking about.

there should be an option to select English on nzbindex m8, I've just had a look and it looks English to me although the format has completely changed since the last time I used it a few months back.

here's a list of the main nz sites which are similar..

Although I've not done much downloading since I've been using xbmc tell the truth.
