Thanks for the heads up about the letters/warnings.

I havent had any problems with virgin media aprt from the throttling which is more of a minor inconvenience than anything else. There are 3 of us who use my connection and we download plenty but we get practically everything from rapidshare.
We dont use limewire or torrents and i think that is what the isp's dont like as they are a constant drain on there networks whereas rapidshare downloads instantly and quick..i know which i prefer anyway and would rather pay a few euros for instant downloads.
