Anyone here use newsgroups for downloading? What services do you use and how much do you pay? I have used usenet in the past, but wondering if there are better services out there?

I use Giganews and am very happy. 24.95 for 10 streams unlimited downloading. Usergroups are way faster the Torrents. I use the program Newsbin Pro with it.

EasyNews. 9.95/month, nntp and web interface, global search. simply the best newsgroup provider on the planet.

Your isp also provided newsgroup access, most contract with a provider like Supernews or Giganews.
