bittorrent Vs. newsgroup

Newsgroups. Hands down. Faster and more stable speeds. And just more of everything. Make sure to get a good premium provider though with good retention and completion.

BT, I just don't wanna pay anything, not to mention to learn something new. :-P

Ive tried using newsgroups before with little or no success. Guess i'll just stick to bittorrent. its easy and there are no costs involvled..

I use both, just because i like some of the bittorrent communities (like OINK)
and the stuff that is on there, i use Usenet for the fast grab of new and popular stuff. With a 20MB connection maxed out is that the fastest filesharing product on the Planet if you ask me.

for the Dutchies on the forum.

In the netherlands there are a few very good ISP's wich have USEnet servers with 30 to 50 days retention that you can use with a regular subscription.
XS4All.nl (8Mb) - (server newszilla, experimenteel) or tweakdsl.nl (20Mb).
Maybe there are more but from these 2 i know they are very good.

My download speed:
at univesity about 30Mbps+, up to 50+Mbps depends on how many users at that time.
at my company, about 20Mbps constantly
at home, about 2Mbps constantly

so at least my download speed is 30+20+2=52Mbps=6.5MB/s
it means I can download at least 6.5*24hours*60minutes*60seconds=561,600MB=548GB+ a day
DVD9 is about 6GB-8GB
Speed is also depends on how fast is your Usenet premium services, Newshosting provides speed at 200KB/s for each one of 8 streams
I should inform you that there's not enough DVD9 for me to download everyday T___T
At my home, actually speed is 300x8=2400Kbps:
