I use Astraweb because I can buy 1000GB at a time that doesn't expire so I avoid the monthly fees. Works well for me as I don't do a high volume and it removes any feeling of pressure to use it more than I need.
Astraweb is the same exact servers as Newshosting that you glowingly recommended up thread. cant be that bad i guess. ;)
but they are literally the same servers operated the exact same way. a take down happens on newshosting will be reflected at the same exact time on all resellers, astraweb included. astraweb moved over to nh / omicron a few years back where prior they were their own system and i remember when the dmca thing was a big thing for them but that was like a decade+ ago. newshosting or any reseller are all connecting to the same servers, look at the IPs and how close they are, follow the traces to the same location.
Well for someone like myself that is low volume Astraweb is great because they offer the option of buying GBs instead of monthly fees.
Dumb question: how can you get DMCA'd?
I thought it's all encrypted and servers are no log?
Ah, okay, thank you.
So the problem isn't for the downloading party but for content availability on the server.
