for you noobs or lazy people (like me) try out www.easynews.com

HTML based newsgroup readers makes finding and downloading stuff easy as pie

best $9.95 I spend a month and you can acculuate your MB per month if you dont use it all the time, plus get free MB if you do folding etc...

Download starts; maximum speed.
Download finishes; maximum speed.

Unlike BT, which takes five years to get up to 75% of your available bandwidth with one torrent.

Maximum speed meaning max your connection is capable of?

Would I experience the same port-blocking issues with that as I do with BT on campus?

Damn I killed it again.

I used newsgroups for all my entertainment needs back in like '01. Now it's all torrents : /

 

[OdiN]

Why?

Because you don't know who I am.

 

[archcommus]

This is something I need to learn. How n00 of me.

Does anyone still use newsgroups for actually talking about stuff? I remember the good ol' days, before web based forums even existed, spending most of my time on alt.guitar, alt.rock-n-roll.metal, and alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.playboy
