Yeah, it will speed up. I prefer the hacked version, which lets you choose the speed that you download /upload at.
Why would you want that? well, the faster you upload, the faster you download (so as to encourage uploaders), but it can also dominate your internet speed. the hack lets you decide how much of your speed to use.
As far as I know you can't watch till done.
as for usenet, are you saying that there were 2 incompletes out of 50? (or whatever it is?) if so, this is the beauty of par files. if you also download the par files (files with p.01 extention, etc), they will replace any missing / incomplete file. so someone uploads 50 rar files, plus 10 par files, and any 50 of those will give you a complete download.
you can go here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://alt.binaries.nl/">http://alt.binaries.nl/</a><!-- m --> to see what has been uploaded to usenet; what is on your server will depend on your ISP. different ISP's have better/worse usenet retainage.
