Thank god for newsgroups and the unlimited package from virgin I started downloading 70gigs worth of high definition films before I went to bed last night, When I woke this morning they were done. Under 10 hours for 70gig I'm really looking forward to when the 50mb lines come out

What speed is that and how much does it cost?

I'm still trying to get my head around how to find the blasted files - I've JUST joined usenet

2.4MBps its virgins 20mb line £35 a month

Use a search engine like binsearch.info to create the nzb's then open them in your newsgroup program. Simple.

I guess you mean megabytes. I'm with BE and the fastest I can get is 6mbps, £35 is quite a bit more than I'm paying each month though.

I was under the impression that the virgin 20mb line is the fastest out there and I download at full speed, Who does a line that downloads at 6MBps as was unaware there was a faster broadband supplier ???

You're getting B's and b's confused...

The Virgin 20Mb service is the quickest normally available - I'm also on it. It's great

However.... 20Mb is 20 mega bits per second...

You quoted that you could get 2.(summut) mega BYTES per second... which is pretty quick and equates to around 18-20Mbs.

....and the 6Mbps was quoted as bps, not as you've stated - Bps. Slow... in comparison.

You have to be very careful with Bs and bs. B means bytes, and b means bits!

I mean megabits. So yours is a lot faster. I'm thinking of changing to Virgin as its available in my area. Get any problems? As my speed and line tends to vary on the time of day and weather.

I copied my speeds from newzbin pro, there is the faster 18.8 speeds but I went for the lower 2.4MBps as it shows on the screen. I was gonna say if you can download 70gig in under 10hours I would like to know the provider
