Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This has been a great addition to my Usenet setup. The search function makes it really easy to search Usenet without needing anything else. The overall experience has been quite good.

I got a block account and wasn't sure what to expect, but the web search that's included with the Usenet access is surprisingly easy to use. Results come back quick as well.

I have had zero issues with easynews

I have had zero issues with easynews. The couple of times I needed to change my subscription, the only 'issue' if you want to call it that, was easy and quick. I probably use only 10% of it's capabilities (powerful search utility), yet I have been and remain a satisfied customer.

Download speeds are WAY too slow

Download speeds are WAY too slow. Even after running the Route Selector Tool and selecting the best route, download speeds from Easynews are roughly 10% of the speeds measured by my internet service provider. I've been a customer for many years and have read all the bull you tell us about things that can affect download speeds. Amazing that Easynews is the only application I use that is impacted by all that long list of excuses you give as to why your speeds may be so slow. Really means you are either unwilling or unable to correct the problem. If download speeds were better, I'd give you five stars.

Excellent service!

Been a member with Easynews for longer than I can remember and have always been satisfied. Long retention times and fast download speeds means it's easy to access the content I'm looking for. The VPN add-on is also super useful for helping to maintain my online privacy and security.

Amazingly fast system, good search and stored search capabilities.

I can find what I want but I do wish you would refresh the UI.

Has become more difficult to identify files than previous, lots of old repeat files occurring looking like it is to cover a lack of new uploads

I am having difficulty with signing on…

I am having difficulty with signing on to google. I cannot understand the information given, and the information that they have is several years out of date, referring to accounts last used many years ago. Their use of language is so poor as to be incomprehensible, and so I have been blocked from using gooogle because I have been making too many attempts to sort things out.

What next ?

Reliable Service

Reliable Service - You do have a reliable service. While I like the search feature, I do not think it is worth paying extra. Also, I think the gigs left is not right when using the search feature. I stay because the service is good, it just becomes more expensive. I sometimes think about trying local search apps, but no time. Yes, you save me time.

Newshosting is not a user friendly site. Also, it has too many German dubbed videos and movie. Also, far to many "Failed to Download" notices.

First, most of the videos were in German. Second, they had too many "failure to download". Third, they do not have "one click" downloads for easy use of thier site. It is a poor site.
