It wasn't about which is better it is about how each individuals experience with NG went.:lol:

Never mind aslong as people find it useful its ok.:P

I've had two excursions in to the world of newsgroups, the first, a long time ago, was a disaster managed to get a few small files fast but just could not locate content and the number of groups seemed overwhelming, so I gaveup an returned to torrents.

However, recently after discovering the great newsgroups section of FST and their NZB's, I gave it another shot it maxxed out my connection and I found the experience great, probably because it felt more like using torrents.

Overall, I still prefer torrents as there fast, simple and I like the whole community aspect to it, and as much as seeding and maintaining a good ratio can be a pain in the a*se sometimes, it is quite rewarding when you seed a torrent to a 5230.278: 1 ratio!

i still use it, it has tons of old scene releases

personally I have never liked newsgroups for downloading. Torrents are the way to go for all my downloads. :D
