Ouch. I see another vote for lowering the recommended daily posting limit. 
Time to find someone in your area to bandwidth-share with. |

Heh, I'm actually not as alarmed as I would've been if this had happened even a year ago. I'm currently downloading maybe 50/50 nntp/torrent, so it'll just swing towards torrent more - everything is available via torrents nowadays (and not everything is posted to the newsgroups). Plus, with Easynews's rollover gigs, I think I should be alright.
