I think you're shopping at the wrong ISP's. Both TPG and DODO have indicated they'll be doing unlimited NBN, and PennyTel already have plans.

Nope, FTTP - Fibre To The Premises. FTTN was the failed model that Tony Rabbit and his cronies want to use. Noncompetitive, more expensive, and slower...but, of course, provided by "Private Enterprise" - which has worked SO WELL for us in the past...

Its original purpose being...discussion?

I meant it was interesting that you differentiate between "sharing binaries" and "copyright infringement."

There ARE free usenet servers that are text-only. Or, you could do as I do, and pay for a premium usenet provider. Consider it a barrier of entry - if you're bright enough to setup a usenet client, AND willing to pay for a subscription, AND post in the text-only groups, then you're probably someone worth talking to - sort of a reverse "Eternal September" if you will.

Interesting that you differentiate between the two.

mmm.

Twelve years on...still relevant.

Correct horse battery staple.

You mean Dave?

Dave's not here, man...

Do yourself a favor, and flick of TED for usenet, sabnzbd, sickbeard, and couchpotato. Forget about seeding, copyright notices, etc etc etc. Sickbeard is where its at.

Look closely.

Look at sickbeard, sabnzbd, couchpotato, and headphones.

I'm gonna level with you.

I was expecting another "cleanmyPC" spam.

Did you know we have pizza subs in Australia, too?

If you're going to all this effort, and already have usenet - ditch torrents completely. I can highly recommend the sickbeard/couchpotato/headphones/sabnzbd setup.

I think you mean "Push up or shut-up time."

nononono.

*dogs* bach all night long.

Not true, Oracle eBusiness Suite's front-end is written in java, and uses the java plugins.
