bittorrent Vs. newsgroup

[yohanas26]

Also, I think newsgroups arent used as much nowadays is because most people dont really know how to use them... Too much work for to do the same thin in bittorent with the click of a button.

newsgroups are good if you like select content, but expect to PAY for what you GET: You don't have to worry about that with bit torrents. Personally, I like both.

I don't pay a nickel for newsgroups.

yea, cos some newsgroups are actually free from the ISP that provides your service. So check with them first, and if a no go, then u gotta pay....

I've got a question, as coming to these forums were the first time I've heard of newsgroups for music. Is high quality easy to find, or is the amount of stuff like a mixed bag...I'm not sure if this is a relevant question or not, but is most of the available music 'quality'? Cause what sparked my interest is d'ling at full speed, since private trackers, though they have a lot of the music I look for..it can get slow if they're not popular.

You can find quality of all kinds.

You'll find a lot of flac as well, as users are not worried about having to seed back a large file.

It's really simple. Let me explain:



























































Newsgroups > Bittorrent

True story.

Fact.




Who gives a feck. I use both. I do prefer newsgroups.
(For obvious reasons)

We did have nominal success in your other thread. I believe we successfully converted at least one bittorrent user.

I agree. use both if u can. But if u cant, then go Bittorrent all the way.

but as i think someone stated bittorrent forces users to upload, if that user is downloading copyright material then they are more likely to get prosecuted, where as if i am correct there is near enough no way of getting to usenet users?

am i right?
