bittorrent vs. fxp scene

fxp = cost afaik and as you said before i wont pay for pirating lol

Internet access costs money
If you have slow internet, you might consider a seedbox, that costs money too
And if you can accept that, why not accept paying for newsgroups, which would allow you to download full speed (that you pay for) all the time

Everyone pays to some degree for filesharing, through service contracts, donations, access, or programs.

Hell, even before the internet, trading discs costed for the media.

Polebear, I think your place is BT.
well, you tried to compare a scene tracker (Scenetorrents,Sceneacces...) with a FXP Board. The "pre times" a mostly the same... because FXP (really good ones where you can only join with a skill!!! no selling accounts!!!) has members with a AT and the scene trackers have a upload script.. and similar the same source.
the only thing is that private fxp boards are more secure. ;=}

well, try it out and feel the speed of ftp sources but please never never support pay to leech!!

I have alot of free time, probably too much for an engineering student. I could do witha new hobby..... Id probably gor for a FXP board if I knew how.

wow...these kind of threads make me feel like a noob at filesharing...my piracy knowledge still hovers around bittorrent though...BT FTW!

What are some of the good scene trackers out there?

I havent been on a FXP board for a long time but i remember they were time expensive, i spended more time checking the scanstros than downloading shit. Instead of that with torrents you just have to check your favorite tracker and get what you want. Also, torrents give you a lot of options to choose, you can be a leech or good user, you can get involve on the communite or not, and you can be a forum whore, an irc whore or both

, torrents let you be yourself. In therms of pre speeds they are almost the same, maybe a few seconds waisted making the torrents but the principle is the same: top site ---> fxp board race server ---> board; top site ---> bittorrent fxp server ---> tracker. What have changed is that bit torrent has climbed the chain almost to the top, before it was top site ---> fxp board, pub, irc or kazaa

---> torrent server ---> torrent tracker. Also Bit torrent has advantages on the download speeds. When you are downloading from an ftp server you better have good rooting, from a torrent there are so many seeds that speed will be always maxed out (on good trackers)

right.

@Polebear

I have both and better sources.

without a good skill you can't join this fxp boards..
I'm member of a fxp board which has only 50 members and we have all releases after some seconds. Sure ScT or an other scene tracker have very fast a release but they have more members and everyone knows ScT -> more insecure

well, real ftp sites are the best. it's an other league.

just stay put
