OK, Talk me out of BT(pros & cons)

My friend tried getting me into newsgroups about a year ago, and introduced me to Grabit. I fiddled around with it for a bit and was disinterested. I then found out how easy it was using torrents, and haven't looked back.

With some of the bigger names going down in the torrent scene though, I have been considering going back to newsgroups.

Before making the jump, I was wondering if anyone can name the pros and cons of using each.

Usenet:
100% worry free downloading at 100% of your connection speed with a 100% chance of finishing every download you make with a 0% chance of ever being shut down.

BT:
It's free.... ummm.
You get to kiss a lot of ass trying to get into the hottest trackers before they get shut down. LOL
Wait... that's not a pro.

Ummm... that's all I got for BT.

Usenet: Most provider only record download amount , they don't record what content you download. No feds will ever show up because you used newsgroups.

BT: It'll never be as safe as usenet... I guess thats a con too :/

As if to say that newsgroups costs money?

Many people get free newsgroups access through their ISP.

Having to pay for Usenet (a good premium provider) isn't really a con in my eyes.
It keeps all the kiddies at bay, so things don't get too main stream.

That is unless they steal daddy's credit card. lol.
