Segaflip, you made me break down and learn usenet! Thanks for all the postings. I got an unlimited account at giganews and am happily using Unison on OS X. Everything works perfectly and I average 550 KB/sec downloads, about 10 times faster than an average torrent for me! I downloaded the EpIV extras in 2.5 hours. If anyone thinks usenet is too hard, it's not and is totally worth it. Just get a premium account and don't even think about using your ISP's servers.
