Strange that they should charge for a service that encourages copyright theft/infringement.  |
You should get over the idea that newsgroups have anything to do with bittorrent. It's a complete different way of downloading altogether. One big difference and advantage over torrents is that you don't have to upload anything! Over time I've downloaded several terabytes from newsgroups, but I didn't upload one single byte to usenet!
This is an advantage because it is fully legal to download copyrighted video & sound files of any kind (at least in the Netherlands). The uploading part is what's illegal.
Here's a great tutorial with everything you need to know about how to get started on newsgroups:

It may seem complicated at first, but in fact it's really easy!
Good luck!
