Usenet?
Nah, I've got 80mb broadband and never once used it for torrents. Regularly max it out in other ways though, most often with FTP transfers and Steam.

Course, with BT Infinity's bottom tier you get 10Mb upload, and at a lower monthly cost than VM's 30mb service (though admittedly it's not unlimited). Or get 20mb upload for a few quid more than 6mb on VM.

You realise the censoring of torrent sites has been happening since at least 2005, right?
I remember it well, I was there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_D-Elite
In fact, even before that media cartels were frequently going after media sharing services on a regular basis - Audiogalaxy, Napster, Kazaa, etc... You're a decade too late if you think the Pirate Bay was anywhere near the start or end of any part of the online piracy saga. It's been going a long, long time and copyright "holders" have been trying to put a stop to it for a long long time too.
