I have a question about downloading the SWHS WHIO version from usenet/giganews.

Hi,

I don't mean to bombard you guys with so many questions. I am very anxious to download this and I am tired of trying to figure this out. Perhaps you could help me out with this since you probably know all the ins and outs of this stuff.

I made a Usenet account on Giganews and now I am trying to download SWHS WHIO version with the Mimo software and it keeps stopping at 33%. I got the free trial version of newsgroups/usenet that manually needs to be renewed to allow charges. Should I bump up to the paid version right away? Is that why they keep throttling my download and stopping me at 33%?

Is there just a torrent I could download this from? I am very confused on how to use this newsgroup stuff. It seems I have to use this Mimo software to download it, no other options. The main page is very un-userfriendly. Do I have to use Linux or Windows run commands to get this to work? There seems to be no download links on the site.

The website I am talking about is this one with multiple links (because I am not sure which link is the one I should use to download?):

(LINKS OMITTED as this was also sent as a private message)

I just use ctrl f and type "SWHS WHIO" in the ctrl f search box to find  the file I want.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this.
