      Torrents or newsgroups for me. I usually use torrents thanks to the wonderful uTorrent and it's web interface. I also have TV set up to automatically download via RSS links. Given the current crackdown from ISPs I should probably look at moving to binary newsgroups completely. Can anyone recommend a good newsgroup client for Windows? I've used Unison on the mac before and loved it, but I have a windows server running all the time, and the mac is only on occasionally.

      Cheers

          Newsgroups is unbelievable for anyone who hasn't tried. You have to pay of course to get the best use of it but ?5 ain't bad for what's on offer.

          GrabIt and NZB search engines rule!

            Newsgroups for me . Couldnt believe my eyes first time I logged on to usenet. Well worth the money. Only problemI have now is TW capping my ass 11 hours a day. Unlimited downloads but not at the speed you pay for.

                    newsgroups, they just give you everything you need at the fastest speed available to you.

                      Newsgroups all the way. No waiting, full speed downloads that are not as detectable as P2P sharing.

                      Having said that I do use torrents, DC or anything else I can get hold of to look for anything older.
