If you have WOW service they provide you with email addresses at no cost. Call customer service and find out what the primary address is for your account and use that. Thats exactly what I had to do with TW.

 

I've been grabbing HD rips to stream through my xb360 and with newsgroups you dont have to worry about a damn ratio. I've grabbed 10 movies in the past 3-4 days, over 80gb of transfer!!! And the speed of the downloads kills torrents. Its win-win imo.

I'm happy everyone is enjoying it. My biggest fear is that I would have to do a subpoenoa for someone I know plus you can't beat the speed.

 

Trowa don't worry about bandwidth we have 3gigbit to highwinds. 99% of the time if you can get above 700KB its because high traffic that time of day on your UBR. If anyone see's less the 500 on a regular basis pleases let me know ASAP. I will make the apporatioe requests to split your node.

 

Last night from the datacenter I was helping out 81lx50h and was dling from our backbone (the newsserver is not here btw) and getting over 7000KB sustained. I was thrilled.

Ya I know it was a joke. ;)

 

I am glad everyone is using this method and staying away from bit torrent. Newsgroups has been around since the start of the internet? and it isn't going to die out. Go pirates go.
