Are Newsgroup speeds better than other filesharing methods?

[SingaBoiy]

Newsgroups are the 2nd best option. 1st of course being FTP sites.

Where are the good ftp sites then?thier hard to find and most if they are good have have to trade and stuff so elaborate please what makes them better more files?more speed? i seriously doubt it because you have to pay for some ftp top sites to and what if that topsite dont have what you want then you have to join another right?Can you pm me an excellent ftp for 0day porn releases that has some of the files from the tehserver.us?Thank You Edit: I see newsgroups are the best afterall.

Haha you are wrong - he was talking about topsites.
You only get access if the scene wants you to get access and you deserve it, i.e. become part of a top warez group.

They are the root of (almost) all warez. Often on GigE or 100mbit FTPs and with less people using them so just like newsgroups you get really really fast speeds.
You get all of the files first because that is where the scene releases them.

Often some topsites specialise in certain types of files - but there are some Big Archive sites around - have you ever read an nfo file they often mention the software the FTP was running on and the scripts. glFTPd? Hoops topsite scripts? (etc...)
And they are all sort of connected to be honest - what gets released in one gets couriered into one of the others etc...

Not that I know anything.

I have a 10 meg line, I max it on usenet, I don't need anything else.

Having said that I also use BT for stuff I can't get on usenet.

Or Soulseek sometimes.

I don't really fancy the idea of connecting to FTP sites where the big nobs hang out. It just seems too much like drawing attention to yourself.

anyone on ntl??


jus wonderin if their newsgroups are any good

[DrBeerMan]

For me i get 900KB/s plus on some decently seeded torrents from sct , w/ newsgroups i get only around 340KB/s because thats the cap my isp sets on binaries. So for me BT is faster then newsgroups. I guess if i paid for a newsserver i would get my max speed from them, but unsure.?
