Try removing them and see if that works.

If you downloading files I would recommend a proper, paid, service as I believe the Virgin media ones have poor retention (period they keep files for) and download limits. |
Happy to use unison access but i would like to set up usenet on other pcs in my house so i can access from anywhere in my house. There windows based so wont be able to use unison.
If i subscribe to astraweb unlimited can i use the one subscribtion for all pcs in my house or do i need to pay for each machine?
