Back in Canada I primarily used usenet for all my needs. Usenet was very fast and I didn't have to upload anything. I've been using usenet with American usenet providers here but downloads just aren't very fast. I'd like to use my Korean ISP's usenet server, as I bet it is rediculous fast, but I have no idea what the hostname is for it and I can't find it on my ISP's website. I use Kangnam Cable, does anyone know what the hostname is?

Also, are there torrent web sites used mostly by Koreans, and thus are very fast?

Why pay for something that you can get for free? How much you pay for blueyoyo anyway?? I think tv shows are slow going up on blueyoyo (a day late) as wll.. I just downloaded prison break.. and this is what I got..



It is clearly not difficult to keep a ratio if you are in Korea (so dont use that argument).
