Considering they're piggybacking onto a usenet provider under the covers they should have something that is reasonably priced for unlimited use. I pay $10 for unlimited usenet and then I just use sabnzbd+ and nzbindex.nl to feed my shows to my server automatically. The same thing on Graboid would be $30 and from what I have read the app slows down the system when it's busy and has to be restarted occasionally. sabnzbd can run with a dozen connections which saturates my 25mb connection 24/7 and it never hiccups.

I was on the free trial which is 4gb/1 month and I can tell you I was amazed at how simple Graboid is to use and the wide selection available. I typically download an 800mb movie in about 12 minutes and once you get to recognize the file formats listed you can pick something you know is going to be great quality. If you should run into any problems just visit the Graboid Community in the forums and members who are users just like me are always on hand and more than happy to help. Graboid doesn't cost much either, plans start at just $4.99 per month for 10gb but you can upgrade if that isn't enough. I couldn't be happier with the service.

I typically grab Xvids and DiVX vids in less than fifteen minutes. My buddy in Korea grabs them in about 4-8 minutes. There's a screen shot of his download speed in one of my recent posts. http://www.nullamatix.com/us-internet-service-providers-should-be-ashamed/ I'll never revert to torrents again :) Anyway, graboid sounds ok, but their marketing plan is even better. 2 gigs isn't even 1 DVD, so you're almost forced to upgrade... I'll stick with giganews for now, but thanks for sharing. If Graboid is streaming movies from the Usenet, they aren’t lying about the speed.
