Never pay for File Sharing?

**MultiForce** · 08-12-2006, 09:49 PM

Here is what I pay for to download warez.
Food, electricity, appartment, ADSL, bus to work, Giganews account, computer equipment, toothpaste, coffee (oh yeah you need it to stay online), soap, clothing (for work), light bulbs (or else the eyes goes to hell) etc etc etc.

My life is just about internet and downloading... smart guys says I got no life of course, but I'm happy!

i pay for the speed and retention from newshosting, i think $14.95 (USD) a month is nothing to what you get (unlimited bandwidth, uncapped speed)

you pay for bandwidth service not the actual content itself

so the claim "never pay for file sharing" still stands

If you pay for a full year, you get a discount and it averages out to about $12 (USD) per month.

i get speeds of about 1.3 mega BYTE per sec very quick as i have a 10mbit connection. The only thing is that bt quite often has stuff i cant find on usenet so i use that for most of my dl, but if i want something quick and its big i use usenet, much faster, although i do get 700kBps usint good torrent ratio site as well
