Seedbox VS RS Acc

[FileZ]

if u r heavy downloader , What will be used ?
1 - server ( seedbox ) then transfer files through FTP
2 - RS acc for 1 year or so

[horiZen]

server/box is my pref

[H&K]

A server for sure, the releases themselves are available much quicker on torrents/ftp

Seedbox :)

good choise , but many ppl prefer RS coz cheaper and have many rare and old files with great speed unlike torrent when find old file with 1 seeder

RS limits you to 2.66GB per day, although you can save up to 10GB. So if you're a "heavy" downloader then you may find that you often cannot download everything you want from RS because of the limit.

Rs

[lysine]

server. you can run programs, private proxy, irc bouncer, website, etc...

with rapidshare you can only download.

[naikon]

seedbox to buffer SCT or TL, or just FTN and no worry about ratio ;)

[becomehokage]

Rs ofc.

[Detale]

For loads cheaper than both you can get usenet access and not have to upload anything or deal with anyone ;)

There's an astraweb banner up top for $11 a month cant beat that using a seedbox or rapidshare acct

[Funkin']

Actually a years RS account is cheaper than a years worth of Astraweb. But either way, I would still rather spend my money on a RS account or Usenet account(which I have both) than a seedbox.

[whiteboy]

Wait RS has a 2.6 gb a day limit. Man thats like 2 xvids! Or half a dvdr, thats weak!!!!

Agreed. Although Easynews is the shit.

[bentomans]

i'm a torrenter so seedbox is really important :D

[meelad]

RS and usenet for me. Very hasslefree. The advantage with seedbox is that you can rent a seedbox for one month, buffer your main accounts and use the buffer for months. Just download whatever you want and seed it for few days (don't hit and run). The buffer will last long enough.

[shadowhero]

prefer RS

[ChorniyVolk]

I say seedbox, only thing RS has over torrents is the rare/old files that you still have access to, but if you look hard enough you can usually find it, or something even better on torrents, and the pros of a seedbox like all it's different uses outweigh rapidshare.

But this is coming from a guy who has neither ¯\_(o_o)_/¯

Agreed. Although Easynews is the shit. Well Giga is my server of choice ;)

You can get unlimited Dl with NZB's Funk ;)

Right. That definitely is a downfall of RS right now. I was lucky enough to get a couple accounts that still have the 10GB a day download limit. But still, the limit for heavy downloaders definitely will suck...

But, you have to think that with Astraweb(or even Giganews), eventhough it's unlimited downloads you still get a retention. With RS you don't. I've been downloading files anywhere from a year to two old from RS forums. So both methods have their pro's and con's. I think a combination of both is the best way to download(Usenet for all the big files, RS for all the old files).

[amirji]

seedbox/ftp. :D

[tnt]

2.5GB/day is not heavy downloader this is super light downloader
and some rs links are deleted so fast that the retention is even worst than newsgroups.

[HINT]

RS but box is really good too

Yeah i got 1 lucky account too :P it expires tomorrow so i am downloading this shit out of warezbb

[hayden61108]

warezbb, lol i know there :)

[Valoo]

What a strange poll, it's not the same price, not the same use ! RS vs Usenet would have more sense

[Rikikii]

Seedbox FTW!

This is what I would recommend. RS has daily limits, torrents have limited speeds and ratio requirements, usenet is the best for straight up leeching.

If you'd rather spend more a month for a seedbox (for what, the community? lol), you're just silly.

[dragoi92]

both are good
But i prefer torrent and seedbox
