What's the Best File Sharing Method?
Hello,
I'm using torrents for years and think of choosing an alternative method like: P2P (eMule, Kazaa), Usenet, IRC because I can't find the files I want in Torrents (Well Private trackers are a go but I know none and I'm registered into none).
Can someone give any suggestions?
I'm mostly interested at downloading Xbox games at the moment

The WTO link at the top and this thread may help:

Since you're interested on Xbox games, I'd recommend BCG (they gave thousands of referrals today) and Xbox-Sky (opens from time to time).

I was never a member of xbox-sky, but I can 100% guarantee that you will find everything you need on bitgamer and BCG.
Re: What's the Best File Sharing Method?
Unfortunately, no file sharing method is the "best". Each one has its pros and cons.
If you're wanting to stick with torrents, then I would go with the two suggestions for BCG. Since the site has an sp mod, the site is basically freeleech. Really beneficial for people with slow up speeds. When you're able to see the invite forum request an invite.
Usenet is also great. Especially for big files like Xbox games. You download them, burn them to a disc, and delete it off your computer. No uploading involved at all. Check out the Newsgroups board here to get all the info you need for this method.
Samething with warez forums(which you'll need an RS, MU, etc premium account to get the full benefits, but it's all downloading, no seeding). I don't know any Xbox specific warez forums, but any big general forum will have what you're looking for. Check out this thread for a big list of forums.

Warez-BB is king of all warez forums. :yes:

For xbox games all the methods gets the job done for you.
If you are also interested in rare&old content, keep in mind thats torrents in trackers doesn't have retention times nor become removed by companies.

Thanks for your answers.
I don't know where to start but I will.
Also about USENET, In every ad I found they say you need to pay to get registered, is this true? Can I use it for free?
OK I searched around the forums and I learned about BCG.
I've got one big major question and I would like someone answers it.
People who have give-aways to private trackers ask for proof from the user with
1) SpeedTest
2) Share Ratio on other private trackers
3) Client's statistics
You can scam the proof pretty easily.
If you search around the net you can find the proof that the other user give-aways asks or you repost the statistics from other users who post.
especially with the share ratio in which you must hide your username in order not to get "banned" from that particular tracker.
You do you know if the user who wants the give-away-invite is not a scammer or the proof he has is his own?
Anyway the way of doing things with private trackers have many holes.

Its for privacy reasons, you don't get banned from particular tracker for using or wanting to join another tracker

You don't really loose alot if the person is scammer, you are just letting someone know your mail. I usually use specific mail addresses to get the invite, like [email protected].
This is rarely is the case, there are scammer at trade section, so keep an eye on for persons rep and post count. But it doesn't happens a lot on giveaway section

Generally you need to pay for most providers, but there's a free one:

~10 days retention and decent speeds. Login data changes every day, so stay tuned.
