How is it with communities especially about exchanging files?

mm.. because someone actually uploaded those file:rolleyes:

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
Sorry it wasn't phrased well. I meant, are there also good communitys about exchanging certain files. You can communicate through the group I guess and probably there are also good forums, that's what I meant.

I have no problem finding anthing.
In fact, I'm finding so much that I'm starting to have problems with my ISP over the amount of bandwidth I'm using. (I guess 1TB a month might be excessive... damn porn!!!).

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
I prefer Torrents but Newsgroups is faster and no uploading.

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups

Ignorance is bliss.
I get the newest stuff, at the fastest speeds (13Mbps, my lines limit), in the most secure way possible.
And best of all, I'm totally leeching. Downloading about 500-600GBs a month!!!
My Usenet account is well worth 20 bones a month.

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
Sounds like newsgroups are the hidden gems. At least for the pros.

Reading this, I felt like I was being bukakked with stupid.
It isn't even debatable information. The "facts" you're listing are just flat out wrong and it shows your blatant inexperience.
Get a clue before posting such blather which only provides genuinely inquisitive members with false information.

+1, personally i think every means of downloading have some advantages and disadvantages; if your looking for oldies and rare stuff use emule, pron and most of dialup user go for rapidshare, asian movies/music= megaupload,if you want to do some downloading while extending your e-penis go for torrent, and lastly for heavy downloading internet user i'll say NG is your answer

With Rapidshare i get what i want when i want and for free since i uploaded some few things on a free account then i got premium...:D But newsgroups doesn't offer that kind of stuff, they like the money too much and advertising too much as well...
No offense to you, but Rapids**t doesn't even compare to torrents in the least bit. I'm running a 10mb DL / 5mb UL DSL, and I will put money on the fact that torrents will blow RS out of the water any day of the week or month. How do I know? I moderate a warez forum where everything is on RS/MS/MU, and I have premium accnts to all of the above.
Torrents are faster; I have proved it on this end.
@typoholic, your statement might be true for rs/mu if you dont use download manager to get your stuff. yes i've use torrent before, both in private and public trackers, and so far the best downloading speed that i've had is around 700kbps, where as if i use flashget or MU manager i normally got around 400kbps per file for 3 files at the same time, and the fastest speed that i've had so far is 700 kbps perfile at the same time for 3 different files, now i was wondering what trackers do you use or you simply made up your statement-since i dont see any proof at all- and yes i've hold both RS and MU account for more than 2.5 years now, and i do know to get my sh**t even before the existence of warez-bb, forum-w,and projectw :whistling

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
Use whatever you prefer. Although why somebody would downloading something on BT when it is on usenet is beyond me. Yeah I really want to sit on a tracker for days getting my ratio up. But sometimes I have to. I think we should all say a big thanks to those posters who make all this possible and stop spinning around what is better. Who the hell cares I don't.:01:
-
Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
i prefer newsgroups for the speed & ease of use - simple click on nzb and you're done, with giganews & hellanzb:down:
lately i've become curious about the level of private torrent sites; from what i've gathered, only TT might compete with newsgroups for my trance needs, but so far i've been unable to get invited - it seems like there's this scheme where ppl with long private torrent experience & many invites trade invites among themselves for the lulz & others with desire & bandwidh to share are simply left out:ermm:

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
From what I heard the newsgroup are free to dl so no ratio and very fast but the file are delete after 90 days and you have to pay 30€/month for an access.
So free for free I stay on BT. =)

where did you hear that statement, as far as 90 days worth of retention period you that statement was true 2 YEARS AGO, right now usenet is much better.
for about 17 EUROS PER MONTH, you got yourself a 200 day worth of retention period, and max out downloading speed, and imho the pretime was not as bad as i thought it to be, and lastly might i say no seeding is needed.
and that is why i preferred to stay as usenet user :)

Re: Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups
my sources are from a french forum:http://www.tutorials-newsgroup.com/n...up_serveur.php
and if you want usenet without quota you have to pay 20€ and as you can see there is a retention of 70 days.
for 17€ what 've you got? ilimited and how many days of retention?

http://www.tutorials-newsgroup.com/usenet_giganews.php
and ignore the price that they put up there, because based on the current conversion of usd to eur, $ 25 worth approximately about $17
