download mostly new movies and apps in German language.
since some great groups for sampling and audio stuff got screwed up i get them
from from private tracker now. but newsgroups still great for other kind of stuff
like games for pc and consoles and all kind of music.
When I was using torrent, I really only downloaded TV and Anime, because of ratios.
However, I'm dling DVDs now. In fact, my current download is a 17.4 gig download!!! And, it'll be done in less than 9 hours. A file(s) this size would have taken 2 to 3 weeks on a torrent site. Even one that requires you to register.
As to the Newzbin thing... I don't know why one would have to pay... you can still browse for free... then just go find the files yourself. Right? I really think the free sites are adequate. If I'm missing something... it's prolly for the best, because I don't have the space for much more on my HD right now. :P
Mostly DVD-R's at 4.7GB. I'd love to get the DL DVD's but the discs are too damned expensive :( Maybe when they come down again it won't be a problem.
Also, PC Games & some DivX movies depending on their rarity.
are newsgroups better than bit torrent????
Yes in my opinion they are...
Yes, there isn't quite as much stuff at any one time (as if you were using DC++ or Emule or lots of different private Bittorrent trackers) mee thinks but the speeds always max you out, and there is a good turnaround for stuff everyday loads more is added - so you never run out of stuff to download.Quote:

When I first started using Newsgroups, I didn't think so, because I was mainly downloading old things... entire seasons of TV shows... Anime Series and OVAs... but the longer I use Newsgroups the more I see those things popping up.Quote:

All this adds up to making the money worth it: especially because Newsgroups don't tie up your Internet connection. I can still download from Newsgroups and surf the net with little to NO lag, unlike when I was doing torrent all of the time.
Agreed... I also use Usenet for discussion...novel..eh?Quote:
