Probably a bit late now but also check out Easynews. They allow direct binary downloading (not via NNTP which increases the file size by about 25%). This means that
1) You get you files even faster. (if not when you max out your shiney 10mb connection you are still wasting 2.5mpbs)
2) You get more before you hit any caps.
3) You dont have to mess about with binary newsreaders. As a die hard ex 'xnews' user for many years - I've found it MUCH better simply using a web based interfaced and downloading stuff using a regular download manager.
Also they have
4) AutoUnrar feature.
5) Roll-over gigs.
