newsgroups = more rare stuff or not ?

[neoragexxx]

i am mainly a bt user and although i have access to big trackers etc i can't seem to find rare applications (like 0day apps&automotive software)

I was wondering how newsgroup fare in otherwise "rare" pirated software?

Files go back as 2 years based on retention on some popular service providers.

You don't need a Usenet subscription to see what's available. Just see if what you're looking for is out there. ;)

torrents are shit apps, rips, etc that are upload by whoever.... usenet is uploaded by scene standards, so yea everything is better and you can find what you want here. WTF are you looking for anyways? :wacko:

[Funkin']

If I were you, I wouldn't listen to anyone's opinions about either one. Both have their pros and cons. Just do what Skiz suggested and search for what you're wanting. You can find old and rare material through either method(although with my experiences, I have found more rare files through DDL than Usenet and Bittorrent, so if you can't find what you're looking from either of those then give a look around the various DDL forums).

scene trackers have scene releases
p2p trackers have nonscene releases

usenet has both - so I don't think you can say usenet has better quality apps than bt....

yes it does:dabs:

Umm.. "whoever" can upload to Usenet as well. There is plenty of shady content on Usenet.

I agree with your testimonial DDL forums are the best for rare files/applications.. From what i discovered last days BT more or less equals with usenet material.

thanks for the laugh.

thanks for the laugh.

Shady content is spammed to multiple newsgroups on a daily basis. Torrents will never be able to compete with, let alone beat, the usenet when it comes to such filth.

[Hypatia]

With experience you learn how to avoid "shady" content pretty efficiently even using simple indexers.And its a good experience. Manual indexers miss lots of stuff posted out there

That was my conclusion too. I dig Usenet more though because it has better security and guaranteed speeds(but of course it costs).

You should go through his post-history ... he's a truly gifted stand-up comedian :rolleyes:

Come on now guys. No reason to bash justdose just because he obviously doesn't know a lot about BT. ;)

I (seriously) have found it to be just the opposite. Torrent downloads usually take longer to d/l but (I have found) are of better quality while Usenet d/ls are much faster but are of less reliable quality.

[kton25]

I use BT and Usenet. A good tracker will have good speeds/content. Usenet will always have good speeds but limited retention and varying quality content. Try one of the free usenet trials and see for yourself.

[Malcontent]

Usenet will always have good speeds but limited retention and varying quality content.

Several Usenet providers have around 850+ days of retention and is growing. How it that limited? A lot of the content found on torrents is the same that is on usenet. The same tv shows and movies, games.

What? Download apples from Usenet and not oranges.

I can't believe that I still can't find a archive of Wikileaks (p2p, bb) even though the torrents are out: http://wikileaks.ch/file/wikileaks_archive.7z

I don't really think I will be posting the nzbs, but I'm sure if you search the headers you'll find the pot at the end of the rainbow.

It's being upped as we speak. At least I think so, that's what SS reports.
