Where on those forums would you suggest me ask... It doesn't seem like there are a ton of people on there.

I don't really visit that forum, but i only suggest that site because of this thread.

I also bought a 200GB block from blocknews (http://blocknews.net/) that helps with the repair/failed/missing files.
NZBMatrix is the way to go as far as nzb sites.

Very interesting points here in this forum. I am also a long-time user of astraweb and have some files failing on me. This happens although I also have a few gigs from blocknews and set it up as backup server. Still, some files fail on me.

Will moving away from astraweb indeed make things better? I thought that my combo of astra/block should be rather "good"?

The astraweb/blocknews combo is good and should get you past most of the failures. I had just been seeing a lot of astraweb slowdowns and short outages lately and got tired of it.

Usenet is the best way to download these days especially if you hate having to upload (bittorrent). I suggest going with newshosting (coupon) for your usenet provider.

It seems like a lot of NZB sites are shutting down recently though.
