A nice comparison, a good read.
I couldn't help but notice more usenet providers are disabling uploading for it's users which is a pain but I'll stick with usenet myself :)
Nice article.
I'll stay with usenet though, my ISP gives everyone a free usenet account :)
All free ones lack the SSL feature though don't they?
Don't it seem like usenet files have been harder to find or is it just me :blink:
I liked NZB's better but I've been useing torrents
Some shows are taken down within minutes cause the publishers know how to get shit done, but I've only run across about 5 tv shows that do that, so yeah torrent combined with usenet so long as you know what you're doing on both ends.
It's true that Usenet will be attacked by DMCA very hard and new movies will be abuses during hours after they will be posted. So in this point Bittorrent is surely a winner. It will be not possible to filter out files from all peers, doesn't matter how much they try to achieve it.
DMCA takedowns only happen in the USA as this is an American law, so often shows which are not available on US severs are still there on EU servers
I found a provider with no DMCA.Quote:

NNTP has been rocking away for more years than torrents and was unfortunately much better for the lack of exposure (really "today possible to attach binaries" :D - been 25+ years at least).Quote:
Usenet technique
... Today it's possible to attach binary files to the article and it can be downloaded by other users.
However today NZB files and binary download clients so it has fallen into DMCA capture funland :(
Torrents against NNTP (usenet)?..... I am a firm download fan of NNTP without the worry of uploads speeds and leeching clients. Post take downs and the endless <1Mb apps/films (spam/virus) and/or passworded crap (where they don` even change the names in the nfo to match :S) is taking a toll :(
Sad times... but the torrents have muppets too
