Never pay for File Sharing?
Doesn't newsgroups contradict the claim "Never pay for File Sharing!"? I mean, people are paying money for the "quality" servers aren't they? Maybe the saying should be changed to "Occasionally pay for File Sharing!"?. I just put this out as something to think about.

It is true BUT that message is meant for n00bs to filesharing who may see the ads for kazaa gold and other things then go out and buy it which is NOT worth any money.
Re: Never pay for File Sharing?
Many people don't pay for newsgroups, but people do pay for convenience. A quality pay server removes the need to multiplex several free news servers together into a virtual quality server.
Re: Never pay for File Sharing?
I have been using newsgroups for over a month and it is well worth the paying the small monthly fee. I can find some things on there I can't find on bt at all. And there is always a good speed. I have never been under a steady 730 kbs, sometimes I hit over 800. But I do go between the both. I use bt sometimes for items that I don't see on any newsgroup.
Re: Never pay for File Sharing?
I think it means "Never pay for P2P".
Newsgroups access is probably one of the best investments a computer user would make. Most software is then free.

Well put it this way, for a one year subcription with NewsHosting and Newsleecher for a year comes to around £100, that's about 27p a day. Hardly breaking the bank is it.

Compared to the money you save by not having to buy movies, cds, rent movies, buy software, games, etc...definately. :)
