Bittorrent vs. Newsgroups

Newsgroups for sure! Faster,Safer,and no uploading!

NGs have their advantages and also their disadv.

How is it with communities especially about exchanging files?

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

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!!!).

I prefer Torrents but Newsgroups is faster and no uploading.

for music, BT is/was way better for me. i can rarely find what i want on the newsgroups. when oink was rolling, i could find almost anything right away.
