WW i never get your sig, what do you mean by "JESUS USED TORRENTS AND LOOKED WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, USE NEWSGROUPS".
grammar wise it doesn't make sense
just curious nothing more

Here's my problem: I'm sitting here with over a TB of "properly ripped and encoded" FLACs, and a horde of obscure movies, thanks almost entirely to BT. I have niche tastes, and I wonder if Usenet caters to a niche market. Honestly, I don't care at all about mainstream content.
I don't know what kind of music your into check this out -->

I've downloaded a few FLAC albums off newsgroups and the logs were all wrong, if they had any at all (usually just nfo). Also, if y'all want to save some money, most of the stuff from Newsgroups goes right to DC++, just join the better hubs.

I indeed come across incorrect logs or rips with Usenet, but not nearly as much as I do with bittorrent trackers like oink and now waffles. E**** seems to be the diamond in the rough. Waffles is filled with the shit. Just since it's start, I've had to report over half the "FLAC" rips I've downloaded as bullshit, virtual drive, garbage.I've downloaded a few FLAC albums off newsgroups and the logs were all wrong, if they had any at all (usually just nfo). Also, if y'all want to save some money, most of the stuff from Newsgroups goes right to DC++, just join the better hubs.
I convert every rip I download to a single CDImage, verifying against AR in the process, so I know if what I have is truly lossless.
I join the FLACs into a single wav (via CUETools) and mount them with Daemon Tools, to determine the pregpa lengths. If they match up to what the EAC logs show, the rip is bullshit.
Sometimes newbies follow the EAC ripping guide exactly, without even understanding what they are doing. Just reverse the offset (-12) via CUETools (assuming the original rip was done with the right offset to start with), and remount in Daemon Tools, then retest with arcue.pl. If you get a 100% match, again, the rip is bullshit.
As for DC being commensurable to Usenet, that's laughable.

That's funny, because I've had great luck with waffles and what.cd when it comes to proper logs, but it may just be the type of music I listen to (it breeds anal retention). For the log itself, I'm only interested in proper pre-gap length, CRC verification, no c2, and no extraction errors.
Offset correction is useless to me. Read correction is to make sure it doesn't lose small fractions of seconds at the beginning of data set, which only really matters very far down the reproduction line, when those errors affect real data and not complete silence.
To verify whether or not the rip is lossless, I just convert the FLACs to WAVs and run them through Cool Edit Pro for WA/SA. You seem pretty knowledgeable, though, so tell me if I should really bother verifying them through Daemon Tools.
And I don't know. I'm only care about music and obscure film, and Newsgroups just didn't do anything for me. DC was on par in my experience. Maybe I'll try it again.

Personally I use both...best of both worlds
Yes you make sense. This should not be about mine is better than yours. After all we share right? So share information to.
I see little need myself to use DC hubs. But I am always open to suggestion. It just seems to me some people post to promote something that maybe works for them but maybe more to promote this option. I have tried DC and it is not for me. Other places both p2p and server do what is required far better. Use DC if it works for you.. not me
