I'd second the newsgroup notion as well.

Another good alternative is Rapidshare. While it isn't unlimited, it's a lot cheaper and there's a lot more content. You only get ~5GB/day using Rapidshare which might be more than enough for some people.

Newsgroups in all fairness is probably better than bittorrent. The downloads are faster and there's more material. Plus you don't have to upload. It is very good but it has it's problems. Retention is an issue, and it's a little tougher to find what you want.

I still use a combination of newsgroups and bittorrent to get what I want.

Edit: bah, you beat me Skizo

I just expressed my opinion, I'm also using both two, and I found bittorrent to be better. Speed and security is indeed strong points of newsgroups, but on bittorrent there is far more material than on newsgroups, which is the most important aspect for me.

The speed is on par with newsgroups. You'll max your connection. The 5GB/day is what it averages out to be with Rapidshare. You can download more than that in a day. And you average more than 400GB every month? That's quite a bit with bittorrent.

Actually skizo I upload to rapidshare a tiny bit a month and am able to have a premium account every month based on points. RS maxes out my connection and I dont need to worry about ratio. I use it for really large files.
