From what ive been told its just one main provider thats tucked themselves in bed with the DMCA lot.

 

[daveleebond]

As far as I'm aware astraweb is not in cahoots with them, I've had no problems with downloads on astraweb

I'm on astraweb and DMCA removal is pretty bad at present

 

[chronoman]

i found Astraweb pretty poor also lately.
i pay annually but wont be renewing after it finishes in 6 months

Astraweb have an automated DMCA take down procedure whereas the other providers review take down requests manually...It would appear however that Astraweb will literally take down anything rather than making sure the requests are genuine...

astraweb for me , you have to be quick or its gone at the moment

All I use is astraweb and have never had any problems?

Are you guys using SSL?

depends what you're downloading. I've seen 360 games vanish off Newsdemon pretty quick but stick around on Astraweb - but i always use EU servers.

astraweb here too, its getting so bad even the tv show Arrow is removed very quickly, but saying that i download a few rars first and check them to see if its removed and i've got films/games days after they are reported gone on astra and download fine.

i'm using ssl servers and i switch servers also but usually on eu servers,i got acces to easynews and it seems much better but i only use to fill

 

[edogg]

arrow was available on the pirate bay this morning after it was taken down from nzb I didnt like the pb but now they are using the cloud it seems to be better than usenet

[edogg]

[smirnoff_rules]

l use ngroups and they have been good , there was one removed the other day , cant remember the film but virgin newsgroups download it lol

 

[darren221980]

I'm with Newsdemon as well, noticed alot of takedowns of stuff i tend to download (mostly US shows - Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead etc). However if you download when its first released you can usually get the full files, if not then someone usually posts a working nzb file on this site

I am on AstraWeb and not seen any issues. I use the main SSL server or the US one.
