OK, I'll take it down to 60 and see what happens.

So it looks like my connections are just timing out after finishing downloading that piece of the file. Shouldn't SABnzbd be requesting the next file chunk? Once it does that (exactly 4 minutes after timing out) everything is back to normal for another couple of minutes until those pieces are done ...

Yes, Frugalusenet can use 563 or 5563 for HTTPS (http://frugalusenet.com/faq.html). Timeout is 240 sec and maximum retries is 5.

I use HTTPS because, in theory, it's more secure and doesn't let my ISP know what I'm doing.

I see nothing about "trace". I've tried changing the no_penalties to 1 but it didn't change anything noticeable. No schedules. over 100GB available If I look about 2 min after the speeds drop to 0, I see this 2013-03-23 08:03:31,203::INFO::[downloader:661] Thread 5@news.frugalusenet.com:55...

I swear 2 hours ago half their images were missing and covered in SQL errors. I tried 2 - 3 times after that and no luck. Now it looks good though.

I was looking at XSnews but their website looked like it was jacked up so I wasn't sure how good their service was.

Thanks for assist. I found that cheapnews does have it via a free trial. They have a special right now for 500GB block for 20 euro. Perfect backup for me. Thanks for your help.

Is this list any good?

Thanks, I was wondering about that. So I'd need to find an obscure, non-American search provider or Usenet downloading/access provider? I assume the search provider. Any suggestions?
