I agree i don't think its an expensive option, as you say you mainly use it for downloading n stuff don't forget to take advantage of the free newsgroup access that they supply.
To do this you will need a newsreader such as newsbinpro
no more slow torrents just a nice continuous 180KB download speed and no uploading which for a free usenet service that uses giganews servers is good.0 -
BT have newsgroups? does downloading from them count as part of the packages download allowance?
Do you know if BT newsgroup messages are moderated? I used to read them a lot on other sites. Most servers provide newsgroups but are not selective so there is a lot of unsuitable stuff on them (!!!!!!) - and nutcases. I used to get a lot of Spam when I used them. You can always have a look via Google or Yahoo. I think they both give access. To get round the SPAM issue use an email that you don't have to worry about, e.g. joebloggs@bigfoot.com0 -
Hi
