Lowering the RSS Checking Interval?

I have a TV show that is getting removed via DMCA fairly quickly after it hits Usenet. I have RSS set to pull the .nzb down but I think the company that issues the takedown notice must use the same 15 minute interval RSS feed to check for new content.

Essentially, I'm trying to knock down the time in between queries so that I can pull down the show before it gets nuked. Is this possible? I'm using the Windows, OS/X and Ubuntu versions.

Thanks!

The reason we set the minimum to 15 minutes is to prevent you from
getting banned by the indexer you are using.
Maybe you should get a less popular Usenet provider, or a block account for backup.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

I'm with Astraweb which I migrated to about 5 months ago from Giganews for the reason you mentioned, using a smaller provider as to access content that was getting increasing difficult if not outright impossible to obtain. Are there some that you would recommend?

Thanks again!
