    It wasn't about which is better it is about how each individuals experience with NG went.

    Never mind aslong as people find it useful its ok.

    I've had two excursions in to the world of newsgroups, the first, a long time ago, was a disaster managed to get a few small files fast but just could not locate content and the number of groups seemed overwhelming, so I gaveup an returned to torrents.

    However, recently after discovering the great newsgroups section of FST and their NZB's, I gave it another shot it maxxed out my connection and I found the experience great, probably because it felt more like using torrents.

    Overall, I still prefer torrents as there fast, simple and I like the whole community aspect to it, and as much as seeding and maintaining a good ratio can be a pain in the a*se sometimes, it is quite rewarding when you seed a torrent to a 5230.278: 1 ratio!

    personally I have never liked newsgroups for downloading. Torrents are the way to go for all my downloads.
