I've still not been charged, back with the 8GB capI usualy doubled it, since the upgrade generaly I go about 3-4gb over. Not been charged yet.

Should certainly be interesting to see what happens when they do start charging... Particularly interesting if they do it retroactively.

Worst comes to worst and they do charge for the last 6 months, which is the max they can do, ill just pay it, its not like the contract is clouded or anything, i know the risk involved.

How much do you guys pay for newsgroups and who from ?

I use BT at the moment but it takes soooo long to seed a file if its a couple of gigs. Would much prefer to just get it from newsgroups.

A lot of people here are clearly raping the bittorrent networks. Have some shame people! You're ruining the downloading experience for EVERYONE. You need a 1:1 ratio and theres no excuse, ffs.

how can anyone keep a 1:1 ratio with 2mbit down and 128k up?

Well, Eircom and IOL/BT/whatever it's called this week both provide free newsfeeds; news.eircom.net and news.iol.ie, I think. That said, they're not heavy on the binaries groups, if that's what you're looking for.

A 1:1 ratio is impossible all around if anyone goes over 1:1. ANYWAY NO BINARY GROUPS HERE I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FILEZ!
