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.  :-)
