I've been trying to download a TV episode from a binary newsgroup. My news server has a 200MB limit in a 24 hr period. My news server DOESN'T ask for a password or login name. If I close Outlook, then restart it, how does it know who I am? Is there a way to trick it into thinking I'm someone else. If not, does anyone know of a free newsgroup that would have alt.binary.multimedia?
I'm using XP Pro.

(I wasn't sure which forum this should have been posted in. I figured that the answer had to do with windows.)

it can be tracked by your ip, if your dhcp then it's even more easy.

for about $6/month you can get an external nntp service with 500Mb/Day for a total of 700Mb. it also helps for incomple posts.

Download through an anonymous proxy. There are some software packages that do that and there are some websites that you can browse "through" to do the same thing. Try searching google for it.

Not only are you asking for help stealing, you cross posted your request too! Great.
