which one's the best?

[scofield]

bittorrent?

usenet?

emule?

ftp?

speed, content, security...

[ulun64]

bittorrent

[V]

bittorent for sure

[ronInter]

In my opinion:
speed: bittorent of course :D (but ftp is faster sometimes)
content: eMule or bittorent, I can't decide :)
security: I don't know :)

[roccofor]

Emule is the best for content old.
Bittorrent is allways good for new.

[Skiz]

Those who say bittorrent have obviously never utilized Usenet. It's just silly. It isn't even a comparison. :ermm:

Speed? Max out your connection on everything you download, every time. Upload speeds? Who cares? You don't upload with newsgroups.
Content? Usenet has the same day-to-day content as bittorrent trackers, but a whole lot more selection.
Security? Nothing could be safer.

Everything you say is of course true. But im a cheap bastard so im sticking with my beloved bt for now.

[cnack]

For me, it's usenet all the way. It's fast, reliable and as secure as is possible in these big brother times. However, my news server only holds binaries for 8 days, so I do use bittorrent to get a lot of stuff. I always try usenet first, though.

[edmund]

For me bittorrent, emule just for quick passwords andas single mp3 musics

Strange how some people forget that this is FileSharingTalk not FileLeechingTalk. :whistling

[Ivanov]

Rare content: eMule ftw!
General 0day content: bittorrent
I don't think that you can get FTP access for free like the torrents and eMule. Usenet is fast and doesn't have need from seeding, but... coast money. I do not understand the idea to pay for leeching pirated (copyrighted) materials...

I've always read to leave uploading to Usenet to the pros, so I never bothered.

I do upload NZBs here at FST though. :snooty:

[billyv]

I prefer bittorrent over anything I have used. I never really got into IRC too much. Most p2p networks are filled with people who don't even know what a file format is, let alone use the correct encoding for their music.

[caseone]

Emule for the obscure or really old files. BT for new stuff. Don't spend to much time on IRC anymore except for a few passwords for paysites.

[sp0ngeb0b]

First, check usenet.
Second, check private bittorrent trackers
Third, check public bittorrent trackers
Fourth, search blogs, etc. for links
Fifth, emule

[Gish]

I have always felt that one should never pay for any form of P2P.
bittorrent has such a better community than usenet. for the users of usenet its use, use, and use but never give for most of the usenet community.
I like the puff, puff give method myself;)

[Ratzy Rox]

Bittorrent, I paid for a newsgroups subscription for 4 months until I realised there's better content at equal speeds for free on bittorrent if you know your stuff.
Those who say bittorrent have obviously never utilized Usenet. It's just silly. It isn't even a comparison. :ermm:This is definitely not true :blink: Even if I also thought it was then making blanket statements like this on the internet is not a good idea since there will always be someone who disagrees.

[validz]

bittorrent!

[TheBlaZinMonK3]

How does usenet compare to bittorrent? Is it really worth the 18 dollars a month?

[cerote]

I think usenet is worth the money. The security, the speeds, and content. The speeds on there are fast all the time, no slow down. I can find stuff on there that I have trouble finding on bt sites. And since you are dling from one source that says they do not keep track of what you dl then it makes it safer than bt.

ftp

Price? Ranging anywhere from $30-50/mo. Basically paying for a second ISP.:yup:

[hamiko_san]

bittorent ftw

[samoyan]

[maxehhh]

[Koeckebacker]

For everything: Bittorrent

[samoyan]

Emule is the best for content old.
Bittorrent is allways good for new.exactly:)

[Gish]

why pay:dabs:

[Andeers]

bittorrent

[bombi]

i think that FTPs are the fastest ...Emule you can find old rare stuff and bittorent is good for new stuff.

[Salih19]

I use to download all the time however these days i cant due to my PC being slow and slow internet connection, However once i get these problems sorted out im back on downloading.

I was using BitTorrent, The best thing i like about BitTorrent is that the installation is very very easy, I mean easy enough for a 6 year old to do, I used BitTorrent for a whole year and at the end what put me off was that i noticed a great software that has gotten worst and worst with newer versions.:w00t:

Have you guys noticed that some torrents outright reject this client at times.

Result, Now i dont download anything, But from rapidshare.

[dtfst]

[solaris]

[cRaZyzMaN]

bittorrent --> nice speeds, but have ratio

usenet--> nice speeds no ratio

emule--> old stuff archive

[FireMan]

Bittorrent and emule.

Bittorrent - Is the best.
eMule - The archive where if it can find almost everything.

[DominatoR]
