I understand, or at least I think I do. I have 2 NG feeds that I use -
1 unlimited and 1 metered (20 gb a month). The unlimited is fast and
has more groups, but as posts begin to age, their completion % drops
quickly. I use the metered mostly for backup and older posts I want.
Nice thing about the ftp site is that is doesn't count against my
metered. So, when you talk about having a BW cap, not sure if you mean
that, or that your connection isn't too fast.
At any rate, I've set them aside for you. If things are slow here,
I'll just go ahead and post them unless you get them from Steve's FTP
site first. FYI, I had most of these already, so when I downloaded
large groups, I delete many duplicates. Even if I only got 1 film that
I didn't have it's worth it to me.
Cheers,
Clive
