Depends on how much you download. You might need more than one account given RS's bandwidth limits.

Usenet unlimited, Rapishare limited Have fun downloading Rapidshit and don't complain when they block your account for downloading pirated material eventually, and not to mention no SSL.

Plus you always, always max your connection with Usenet, and your ISP wont' care, they will care your using Torrents and Rapishare, we need more people to think Rapidshare is the best and torrents are the best and stay inside your bubble and let the heat be on you, while us Usenet weirdo's continue on our merry way getting anything we want, without so much as a blink of the eys

Well said SoL. With retention wars rising we may have an inf. retention period in the possible future .

Let's hope BREIN doesn't pwn us like he's doing to Torrents/DDL.

Rapidshare is just like public trackers whereas UseNet are private trackers, safer.

Ah yes, and how long does content stay on Rapishare/Megauload/etc....not very long if it's copyrighted....or if they notice huge numbers downloading, will be deleted with in minutes, as for Usenet and unless someone complains, the file stays on Usenet for almost 400 days, we get released minutes after pre (I use for TV shows, can't stand streaming them, even though it's legal to stream them, but not download them, don't get it)_so in a word Rapidsahre is a glorified tracker.....as for Usenet you connect to one server and the only way to know what your downloading/uploading is if you ISP inquires and that's alot of trouble, anybody can get you IP from Rapidshare (as above they give over details pretty quick, sure you can make the case for Usenet, but it doesn't happen "hardley" excpet for child porno, which deservedly need to be dealt with harshley....reason being people think Usenet is bad, good for them and well keep having fun for $11 a month, cheaper than a hooker) or torrent.

I was with Giganews 2006-2009 but right now i canceled them and only use rapidshare.
You are right, usenet offers retention, ssl, speed and so on.
But rapidshare is quite good for some things, too.
First of all i only use rapidshare during the night so i am allowed to download 50gb per day. That would be 1500gb per month. More than enough i would say?
Advantages of rapidshare clearly are the variety of porn. Just have a look at some of the old binary multimedia groups, they were full of new stuff in 2005 or 2006 but they are all dead now!

I allways subscribe to the best. rapidshare is the best one click hoster, giganews is the best usenet provider.
rapidshare: 7 euro at monthly subscription
giganews: 17 euro

If i had enough money i would subscribe to usenet and rapidshare.

And subscribing to "the best" is your fault. Giganews has 1.25% more rentention, but at the same time is more than twice as expensive as astraweb, and frequently removes articles such as TV shows. Don't use giganews to compare it to rapidshare.

without a doubt has to be newsgroups constant maxing of my connection at a lovely price all the dvds and console games i need to keep the kids and myself happy used torrents before being introduced to newsgroups thought of rapidshare and let that thought just drift on by
