Signed up for usenet. Easynews. £30 for the year. Great way to get Linux distros...
Why would you need usenet for that? We have NLUUG, that has them all (and BSD, and...) ready for download and use for net install. I guess there are more Unix User Groups that have sites like that.
Oh, sweetie... not literally linux distros...

I am still upset that this code exists. Talked with friends that I probably have one of the largest Linux Iso collections, because I never deleted them and had mirrors for a couple of distros. Almost a full terabyte!
However I phrased it, I could not convince them, that I was not talking about piracy.
I think once, in 2003 or so, I downloaded literally a Linux ISO via p2p, just to be true to the claim.
American kids sigh...
I'm getting old. (Bought my 1st Linux ISO in '95)
Did you get a special offer or something? The cheapest plan is $9.98/month on their website.
