also i am on virgin media, am i right thinking i get a free service through them, albeit not very good?

yes, vermin have a free server, only 30 days retention though...

i use it for new stuff and stick to torrents for older stuff...

 

[magicalbeef]

how do i go about setting it up mate?

I just put in
news.virginmedia.com
no user or password.
I use grabit, it's not brilliant but functional.

grabit is brilliant.. I schedule my downloads after 9pm so I don't get my bandwidth throttled as most of my downloads are about 3-4 GB
