I popped up a chat with the bored duty sup****t tech at 
Usenetserver.com and asked him what the current load was at 8PM on 
Sat night, now.  49,722 customers were bleeding the server farm at 
about 44Gbps as I type this.  Usenet isn't even wounded.  I've given 
up trying to download everything on alt.binaries.movies.divx.  7Mbps 
just isn't enough bandwidth to get all the good movies 24/7.  I 
download the prime meat then scour the MP3 groups.  Even then it 
overruns my RAID storage capacity and DVD burners to archive.

Usenet isn't even wounded and the downloading from UNS goes on ad 
nauseum....

No time for TV or TIVO....
