What's the best options now for downloading free from newsgroups. BT will be getting dropped once my contract is up as Giganews was part of the reason I went with them.

not much options berley, you can get free ones but they are slow and have poor retention. You could buy a block account say 50gb from a provider to save you having to pay a monthly subscription and just renew as you use up the 50gb.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. as an example.

if you go looking yourself then make sure the block accounts arnt a monthly thing and instead keep alive until you've used the allotted amount.
