I use suck for the few news groups that I want a lot of stuff from.Then I use a live connection for the ones that have a ton of stuff I don't want but a few things I do want. suck can't do any filtering as written so the bandwidth used to download a lot of stuff I would throw away would be wasted. :-(
Makes a nice compromise and keeps the bandwidth usage fairly well evened out all day. :-)

I know it's been mentioned before on the list, but in this case, I'd see that as a potential option as well.
