while I second the notion of using newsgroups for downloading, it is worth noting (at least for those not familiar with them) that in many/most groups, your requests for something is likely to be ignored unless you have uploaded something (or many somethings) in the past, or place your request in the header of an upload. the point is, if you arent sharing, you cant always get what you want. and if you are sharing, you are exposing yourself to the possibility of legal action by the copyright owner of whatever you upload.

the good news, however, is that there are SO many groups, with SO much stuff being uploaded, that you can fill terrabytes of space without ever having to request or share a thing.
