The more secure you believe that site is, the better, but with usenet, your IP is never exposed to any third party.Quote:

Not safe at all :01:.
but many of good trackers are much safer than anything.. U only have to get in a high level tracker..
Yes, but then people will spread the word of these trackers causing unwanted attention, then you'll have Anti-piracy bodies getting invited for these trackers and then they'll get your IP's.Quote:

i'll give usenet a try...
the best part of torrents is also it's worst part... Torrents are for school kids w/o access to a credit card...
Even so, they log everything about you, there are no impending cases against Newsgroup providers, one most ISP's offer them for free, and next other providers fall under "common carrier law". So, if a private site gets busted and they got logs, guess what your tagged :yup:Quote:

Nope, i have a 12-13Mb connection i get 1.6MB/1.7MB/s. Torrents the speed (with good seeds ofcourse) stays at a CONSTANT 1.66-1.7MB. Usenet it fluctuates. Sometimes i get the full 1.6MB/s, usually around 1.4MB. Also i get different speeds on different clients, which is odd.Quote:

Im lucky i got the level 10 tracker, and last 5-6months of freeleech has been delightful, got 150gb buffer with my crappy upload. Ha, and i just noticed it has SSL and im already using it access the site.Quote:
