I get 90GB for $25, but I guess it can be cheaper at other places.
"However, all might not be lost for the file-sharer at Virgin Media, especially those who want to max-out their new bandwidth offering. The ISP will be rolling out a new newsgroup service for its subscribers which should be ready in the next couple of months. Using the Highwinds server banks, the service will offer 7 days retention on the all important binary newsgroups."
I would have said just use that, but then I noticed it's only 7 days retention compared to the 100-200 you can get with premium newsservers.
I get all my HD from HDBits, and all my mp3's from waffles/what at max speeds too, but Usenet is really conveniant for games, flac
However, http://binsearch.info is very nice, I find myself using it a lot
They are completely incompetent and its ironic they have virgin in their name when they rape me every friggin month.
They even sent me a letter saying I've not been paying enough for my telephone bill and have now fixed the amount that I need to pay them. Ffs, I don't even have a telephone service with them the idiots.
