Personally I'd recommend IRC, especially for someone with big bandwith. You generally don't have to stand in queues (even for fresh new stuff) if you can get things as fast as 50Kb/s


With smart script supporting resuming (like dccAssist) and some good search engine (like www.ircspy.com) it can be really nice.

In Poland usenet is not an option. alt.binaries.*? I can only dream of...
