Astraweb is one of the ISP's being bullied by the IWF, and has
severely limited access to many of the so-called Child Pornography
Usenet groups. I would not blame them for cutting your access as they
did recieve a legitimate complaint against you and are commited to
take action or face stiff penalties, or so the Internet Watch
Foundation says, which I think is a great load of shit. Anyway, you
would do well to seek another ISP and if possible, subscribe to an
unlimited, unrestricted news server.
