Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
Providing a good news server is probably in VM's interests. It cuts down on external bandwidth and means people "burst" chunks of bandwidth (e.g. to download a TV show) rather than just running BitTorrent which although slower for downloading also uploads for hours on end.
My BT client is on 24/7, uploading a constant 60k/sec. Now VM's news server suck a bit less, that may change.
