usenetserver.com works out at £7.20 per month for unlimited and you
get all the bandwidth your connection can handle. I regularly pull
over 700KBps from them on my 8Mb connection, though to be honest, I
dont use it that much these days. i.e I can get a full DVD unrared and
burnt in under 2 hours.
I also use the newsleecher super search facility, meaning I dont need
to DL the headers to find what I want. It is a great combination.

The only times I have, it just took too long and too many incompleted
DLs. Peer Gaurdian may work - but usenet must be far safer.
