bittorrent Vs. newsgroup

is it scene releases at usenet. And are the god pre times? Im looking for xvid and tv-ripps scene with nice pretimes.

Bittorrent

i prefer bittorrent

bittorrent, you have to pay for newsgroups which sucks

i will say torrent sites (private one)

nntp if its free(limited for me) otherwise bittorrent

This is simple:

If you've used both, your vote was for newsgroups. If you've used torrents exclusively, your vote went to bittorrent.

There is absolutely no possible way an avid newsgroup user would return to the torrent-world.

I could not agree more :D My name is TorrentGuy but ever since I started using newsgroups I have never used torrents, infact I think they are crap now. Newsgroups are just so much better, you get scene releases, good pre-times, max out your download speed all the time and you can download as much as you want without uploading anything :P You also get people that post dvds and stuff that you wont find on a bittorrent tracker :yup: Its also much more secure than bittorrent :ph34r:

So my vote proves you wrong :P Scathing generalisations on the internet generally don't pay off since its such a big place.

I found I could get more music at a better quality than that found on newsgroups from bittorrent while maxing out my connection when downloading scene releases. Oh, and it wouldn't cost me £15 a month.
