Are there many newsgroupies here?
(as your primary source for media downloads?)
I skim rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5 for posts by J. Michael Straczynski. I don't use newsgroups for media that much, though.
demon.local & uk.misc mostly...
Used to download comics off them but many times there would be a missing post. Then my ISP stopped offering newsgroups :(
Yes, yes, and oh my...yes. I especially love UsenetBinaries.com for my image collections (no...not those images). I'm never disappointed at what I can find there. I download at night, cull through them in the morning and run "Clone Spy" in the afternoon to sort out any duplicates. Then I sort, categorize and folderize. I do this on a daily regimen. Gotta keep them straight!
My Doctor says this is good for me on some deep psychological level I will never understand. :eek:
One of the major attractions of cellar.org Back In The Day was the fact that it carried Usenet newgroup feeds and you could access it though dialup. Kinda took a while to download software or media at 2400 baud though.
