This search sucks....it returns everything that even matches one of my search words. I get like 10 pages of returns, with each page having 200 files for a very specific search.

So now that the trial's almost over with...those of you already with an unlimited plan, could you tell me who you're with and how much you pay a month and if you get a search feature? I really liked the web-based search of UNS and at $15/mo, an unlimited plan wouldn't be too bad...I don't use up too much bandwidth currently (Maybe 40 gigs a month?), but that doesn't mean I can't. :p

In the meantime, I'll go take a look for myself at the various providers.

Hmmmm, my queued files are still downloading and just absolutely screaming. My cable connection handles 1.5MBps and it's maxing out. It's amazing how fast you can download a full DVD at those speeds.

Ahh well, there it went. Kicked off at 5:30.

GrabIT if you are downloading binaries

:confused:

GrabIT sucks. It downloaded something for me, and didn't bother to decode them into actual RAR files. Newsbin Pro worked perfectly, and always has done.


User error.

Thank You for letting me know about this. Was able to use it 24/7 when it started till it ended.

Worked out pretty well because my paid service ended around the same day so I was able to basically get 3 days free then start my paid service again.
