It's free, has a 4 week retention, and caps you at 225 kb/s =)

That's a tv show in 25 minutes or a dvd in 4 hours.

I'm a Giganews user and so far have no negative experience (knock on cyberwood).
 
I was an Easynews users for the longest time - their global search is great. But I recently switched to Giganews and use binsearch.info as a search replacement.

Pretty cool. Saves me $15/m. Though you probably lose the anonymity you get with NH going right to the ISP.
