TBH it’s been awhile since I used NNTP to download Linux images. Probably like 8 or 10 years. So I have no idea what’s up these days. I think I used astra because headers didn’t count in your quota, and I had my own indexer so I pulled a lot of headers. Funny how alt.binaries.linuximages and alt.binaries.erotica.amateur.realmoms.fetish.diapers didn’t get indexed by the major free indexer at the time.
astraweb hasnt been their own thing for years. they sell the same thing (omicron backbone access) others sell for cheaper.
