NGD is running their "Terabyte Tuesday" promo again as they have been doing once every month for the last few months. 1TB worth of downloads for $50, great for an average usenet downloader. I know some of you have your unlimited plans and pay $5-$11 a month, but of course that only makes sense if your downloading hundreds of GB's a month.

If you have questions or what to know how to get started with usenet I suggest you read this thread starting with the OP:

Thanks for the deal, but don't you know the first rule of newsgroups?

Thanks for the deal, but don't you know the first rule of newsgroups?

"There are two controversial issues attached to writing about Usenet: 1) the first rule of Usenet is that you don't talk about Usenet, and 2) it's commonly used to download copyrighted material. Before getting into the how-to portion, we thought it important to address these topics.

People have kept quiet about Usenet to avoid bringing unwanted attention to it, hoping it doesn't suffer the same fate as, say, Napster. Because Usenet hosts all kinds of files, including copyrighted works, it's a potential target for the hammer of the MPA/MPAA, RIAA, etc. Back in October of 2007, the RIAA launched a copyright infringement lawsuit against Usenet.com and more recently, the MPA won a case against Usenet binary search engine Newzbin. With these large content rights organizations abundantly aware of Usenet's existence, it seems silly to pretend we're still protecting it through silence.

In regards to the fact that Usenet can be used as a means of acquiring copyright works, we leave that up to the individual user. We're going to look at how Usenet works and what you can do with it, leaving the choice of usage entirely up to you."
