Hello all,

I'm a huge amateur when it comes to this stuff (I had a guy hold my hand on the phone and walk me through this) but I use Newsgroupdirect and buy blocks when they go on sale.

Is there a better group to do this from (or cheaper). I'm happy here but I saw an article that had some different places listed and it got me thinking.

Which group do you use?

Don't know why everyone is shitting on you. You raise a good point. When did piracy become something you pay for?

Do you have a beefier internet connection than you would have without pirating?

Is the same true for a NAS/HDD?

Lol, No and No.

Why would you pay for a 'beefier' internet connection AND pay for Usenet and then pay even more for a NAS.
I pay for Usenet so precisely so I don't need those things.
