I've tried Usenet but it seems WAY limited compared to having accounts at the top 3 or 4 private trackers. Or am I missing something? I got an account at Easynews and haven't found a single THING that's not available on the private BT trackers. TL and OiNK have great speeds, since so many seeders paranoid about their ratios, so what's the advantage of Usenet and the archaic interface, multiple files to worry about, etc..

Thanks!

No uploading and having to maintain silly ratios, top speeds no matter what and no-one can see what you're downloading. :dabs:

Exactly! We gotta have decoys. :ph34r:

i use kazaa every so often, for random things i want to find.

I used Kazaa-lite for years, thought it was awesome. But when I got a taste of bittorents... I wouldnt even go back if there wasnt anything else to down load. It spoiled me that much!!!!

if i'm looking for a song i can't seem to find anywhere i use limewire pro, got much more search result compared to kazaa, and its without spyware!

Funny, I've always found my k++ to be spyware free and it regularly used to get great DL speeds. I can search for files I want, Files don't have to be "active" in order to DL them. And I could go online and do other stuff at the same time with no lag.

I tried bitcomet and it first made my machine run so slowly and interfered with my browsing speed. So much so that after obtaining the files I wanted I never used it again, until the other week, Surprisingly it did not affect my computer at first, but after a week or so it is now seriously affecting my computer speed again. I suspect this is because I recently re-installed my Windows and my Drive C: had a lot of room on it. over the last weeks my C drive has become full again. Only bitcomet though causes a lag, kazaa has no effect.

I am about to dip my toes into emule for the first time so I'll see how that goes.

Recently Kazaa user numbers have plummeted to about 700,000. 3million was the figure only a few months ago. I have no idea why they all left. This drop in users could finally be the end of kazaa.

I don't mean to laugh at you but your progression here is really off. Usenet was the first thing I ever used to download files. I was a member of all the warez sites and private FTP sites. Then that faded and along came morpheus to Kazaa and now torrents. :)

i think a combo of p2p will work great ... in limewire there is always a problem of dud files.
