No one can decide for you, they all have pros and cons.
I will try to make a rough comparison between them.
Newsgroups:
* have new movies, series, music etc.
+ full speed downloading without limits
- there is no free ride on usenet, you have to pay
- past files vanish and need to be re-uploaded to stay available
+ old system converted, by this good bypassing of copyright law
BitTorrent:
+ it's free: up for down
- slow upload makes this deal difficult
- in many places, your IP isn't secured against lawyers
* in answer to those problems, invite-only structures
- this means hassle and a waste of time
+ no piracy business, but community
Rapidshare:
+ free download is possible
- premium accounts are very limited (2.6GB/day)
+ long storage of files, unless reported
+ they secure you against snoops, like usenet
- no central search, content is scattered among blogs, forums, anything
+ this also means there are many specialized corners out there

All depends on what you want. you want fast, no strings attached, you have to pay for it. Usenet and Rapidshare are the way forward. You want to max out your download and dont mind leaving torrents running on provate trackers? BitTorrent FTW. I know which Im taking anyway

i don't know how people deal with that 2.6gb limit on rapidshare.

0 past files do not vanish, your newsserver is just not able to get the files, which is often after 120 days.

I think newsgroups are the best because its more secure and you get full download speed.

No single method is the optimal solution looking from the content POV .. combination of RS + Torrent+ DC ++ works out the best for me ..

Well 2.GB/day is not real, coz u can dl more if u didn't dl everyday 2.6GB
you will save ur dl' traffic up to 12GB, so per month u can't dl more than 80 GB,
but that's all bullshit, if u have a Dynamic IP, u can download for free,
UNLIMITED...u just gotta change ur ip when u reached the limit...
+
You forgot to say that a premium can store up to 500GB..
+ And for newsgroups if u clever and know how to search u can grab stuff for free up to 200 days retention.

I'd Prefer torrents.
Torrents are just... easier and they come with a nice and friendly community too!
