I've just recently signed up with GigaNews, having got fed up trying the ntl newsgroups and hearing about experiences of other people i know, getting the best out of newsgroups.

I downloaded like crazy for the first few days, then pulled back a bit, and haven't really downloaded much the past few days, as i don't want ntl cutting me off.

Any other people use newsgroups? Any heavy users? What kind of useage are you getting through a month, and have you ever had any letters/warnings off ntl?

I know there's no official cap at the moment, so it's all a bit up in the air at the moment, but i'd like to find out other peoples experiences, and see if i can come to some sort of balance, on what to download per day/week/month, and not have to worry about incurring the wrath of ntl.
