[Cunt Smasher]

I know jack shit about usenet but would like to take advantage of my 10.0Mbps connection.I saw usenext ads but have read both good and bad things about it.Is there an alternative that is dumbass friendly and cheap or free?

if you want to dl 500+ gigs/month you will most likely need a giganews or newshosting account - giganews is ~25/mo. for 70days retention - newshosting is about 15/mo. with 24 days retention (more like 34 in reality). so for an easy breakdown.... make an account with

http://www.newshosting.com/
or
giganews.com
or
whatever... others out there but these are the 2 most popular lately

i think both will probably max out your connection - though im only on crappy adelphia 3-3.5mb so im not positive

you'll need a client - newsbinpro is my fav - everything takes about 5mins to setup max and then you just drag and drop nzb's

nzbs - basically an info file detailing the file(s) locations on the servers - free TV nzbs @
http://tvnzb.com/nzb
or the best option -
http://www.newzbin.com/ (like $4 for 8 weeks access)

best way to see if you want to shell out the $$ is check out the 2 nzb sites and also binsearch.info (to search and make your own nzbs) - see if there are enough movies/tv/music etc. etc. to warrant the cost....

I've been on newshosting for around 4 months now and have downloaded about 5-700 gigs/month - mostly full TV series, alot of movies, porn, music and maybe 10 or 11 good games.
