Shaws newsgroups suck.. alot. I pay for a Giganews account, sure its like $20 a month, but I constantly get full speed on it (1.5 megs right now on some random wireless where I am staying right now) and no upload which is awesome and Network friendly! I find torrents slow up my internet like crazy when downloading/uploading on it. newzbin.com - giganews.com .. and get a program called Newsleecher.
I should also add, I find I get alot of incomplete files using the Shaws server, requiring to download the Par files to fix it, whereas the giganews server is way more stable.
