Are Newsgroup speeds better than other filesharing methods?

I've never used newsgroup software, so I was wondering if you get better download speeds on newsgroups? I'd start using them if so.

Yep, you'll almost always max your connection.

hell yeah! Since I've been using newgroups I've downloaded 46 gigs.

Indeed, nothing else even comes close.

Helllll....ya....It is da best!!! I max out my connection and to d/l a 4.7GiB DVD movie takes around 2 hrs and 20 mts....but if I use other ways...it can take anywhere from 6 hrs to 1 week!!!

My speeds seem to be up and down but Im assuming thats my ISP.
These days I dont often max out.

I max out my 3meg line, 360k a second. From my ISP's new servers. They carry all decent binary groups
