    Then you don't know how to find stuff on usenet.

    New tv episodes are posted in a.b.multimedia or a.b.tv before almost all bittorrent trackers have it online. (same with new movie releases) Check the a.b.sounds.*** groups they host billions of mp3's.

    (My downloads are typically new tv shows, music, anime, some new movies, porn and non-new comedy)
    As for me, I download everyday, everytime, everywhere. I mean 24 hours a day, at my university, at my office where I work there, and at my home.
    Now I have 1000+ retail DVD9 Dual-layer titles since I have been using Usenet 2 months ago, some HD 1080i sources and 200+GB Japanese Anime, full DVD retail softwares like Adobe Bundle,...
    On BT Network I don't think DVD9s are published as much as Usenet.
    Usenet is simply the best, I kick of both eMule and BT since I know Usernet ^_^

    My download speed:
    at univesity about 30Mbps+, up to 50+Mbps depends on how many users at that time.
    at my company, about 20Mbps constantly
    at home, about 2Mbps constantly

    so at least my download speed is 30+20+2=52Mbps=6.5MB/s
    it means I can download at least 6.5*24hours*60minutes*60seconds=561,600MB=548GB+ a day
    DVD9 is about 6GB-8GB
    Speed is also depends on how fast is your Usenet premium services, Newshosting provides speed at 200KB/s for each one of 8 streams
    I should inform you that there's not enough DVD9 for me to download everyday T___T
    At my home, actually speed is 300x8=2400Kbps:

    The role of Newshosting is similar to ISPs (Internet Service Providers) for Usenet, just like Giganews, and many others. It means when you connected to one of Usenet ISPs, you could access to entire Usenet groups if they are not restricted.
    BTW, one of the most advantage of Premium Usenet Providers is that they provide 8 concurrent connections(for Newshosting) or even higher with GigaNews (10 concurrent connections), therefore we can use some connections at home, at an office at the same time. As for me, 4 connections at home and 6 connections at an office.

    Yes i fully agree on that. If you want to find something very old and rare, be it music, apps or others, emule is the best. Sometimes, things stay around for years

    The ideal is having both: UN+Emule+BT

    Never had problems finding anything on Newsgroups... Be it new old or very rare.

    Also being able to request helps and 75% of the time my requests get filled within a matter of days.

    I use BT also since Im with some major private sites but still much prefer Newsgroups.
