    I use them a lot! I wonder if anyone uses them.
    I use them for mostly wii games and gamecube games. Also GREAT for psx games.

    Anyone else?

    I am a truck driver and use Newsbin with APN server and access with a cingular wifi/gsm card. Get 1.5MbPS driving through Chicago, St Louis, Baltimore, Dallas. I still need to use truck stop wifi when in sucky areas. Flying J is the best, others are blocking Usenet now so I still need this site and really glad it's here. Nothing worse than being out for two weeks not being able to get the newest NDS game, hehe.
    I like the Anime groups, a.b.dcp (comics), a.b.p.manga. I used to download XBox360 games when I got home but it took a crap on me lately.
    I would suggest anyone wanting to get Usenet to get Newsbin and go to NZBsRUS to download stuff. Also, when you see something on a torrent site that is hot, just go to BinSearch and paste it in there and make your own NZB.
    For some reason, some Metro areas allow me to update headers at 10MbPS on Cingular. If you travel, it's a good thing to have for your laptop.

    I prefer torrents though, they're free and easily give me 1MB/sec when downloading Wii games, I have enough expenses already, so don't feel like newsgroup.

    Is the entire PSX collection on there? Cause I'm getting it via torrents and I don't like uploading 350 GB twice. :p
