I wrote a tutorial about how to use Usenet and I'll be here to answer your questions.
Usenet is an amazing resource for pretty much anything including films, music, games and more. Because you're downloading from a server and not other people's computers (like torrents and LimeWire etc) you can get really fast speeds, I get between 300KB/s peak and 700KB/s off-peak. I would get faster but my crappy BT phone line is being maxed out. I personally love it, I would never go back to torrents or P2P now, and I'd like some other people to learn how to use it. It sounds complicated, but it's really not, give it a go! And yes, it isn't free, but it's not exactly expensive either. 50GB is only $15 and that lasts for ever until you use up your quota (on Usenet-News, the provider I use)
Edit: Apparently there is a good free newsreader called GrabIt. I have never heard of this before, but it seems like a lot of people use it!
Any questions? Just ask! I'm not the only person here who uses Usenet so I'm sure other people will help as well
