  That's US$60, right?

  Might want to put that in the title.

  Great price though. Are they a good provider? I want to give usenet a go.

    It's really not that hard to do you know…. there's quite a few reasons.

    "why would you do this?"
    Because some people like to get heaps with high speed.
    "can someone tell me?"
    I can tell you what I am doing, and that is i have one of these free accounts with low speed that is definitely
    sufficient for me, it runs in the background and won't cost me a cent.
    "still needs to go through ISP, so if metered its double cost?"
    Correct, if you don't have a flatrate with your isp you should have an eye on your data volume.
    "whats on usenets thats not anywhere else?"
    From my experience around 10% of the files on usenet are not found anywhere else.

    Not quite sure what you mean. If you download 1GB through usenet your ISP is not going to tell you you've downloaded 2GB.

  I haven't tried purchasing yet but the sign up says 'US credit cards only' ? Would we need to get around this first or should a regular 28degrees mastercard be ok?

  With newzbin gone, how do people find "stuff" these days?

  Besides torrents

    Download nzbs from sites like binsearch or NZBclub.

      Yes but does the digital millennium act pull things down from there ie latest Hollywood and ufc stuff?

        Of course. But I don't think there is any way around that. It's deleted from the servers, not the indexers.
