How much did you DL when you first started using newsgroups?
So technically I am new to usenet/newsgroups but within a few minutes of finally giving it a shot I picked it up QUICK but anyways I started with the 3day trial for giganews(lasted about a couple of hours) but burned that 10gb rather quickly signed up for unlimited now im about 45 hours shy of hitting the 2week mark and as it stands Im at 229.02GB. So share your new comer stories! I love newsgroup I can't believe it took me so long to come around and give it a shot now I REFUSE to use torrents unless I absolutely have to and I looove FST awesome forum you guys are great!

New - About 2 weeks old. Signed up with Ngroups.net - Octoberfest (till Oct 31 promotion - $9.99/month - unlimited). I have already downloaded about 100gb. I think my usage will come down in the future as I settle down.

I've downloaded well over 600GB in the past year or so after finding out about newsgroups.

Between my consoles, movies (DVD, divx and HD/Bluray) and the occasional PC app and game iso - I pull down 800GB a month.
Re: How much did you DL when you first started using newsgroups?
When I started it was about 100 gig a month. Now I download about 30 gig a month on usenet. What you guys are doing with 600 gig etc a month is beyond me.:dabs:
