+1

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.

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.

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.

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.
