Do you rent a seedbox?

[Wilton331]

will someone kinda brief me on what a seedbox is?

How fast are the newsgroups?

How fast are the newsgroups?

u usually can max out ur conn

[david091]

Nah I meant how fast do the get the releases? Fast as ScT or FTN?

[Skiz]

it is too much

then leaseweb bandwidth is limited only 2 tb

leeware used to be the best ever regarding that it costs only 20 $

i made with it 5300 tb bandwidth in 55 day only

I call bullshit.

I'm renting Leeware for $20. Speed isn't that great, small hard drive, but it's cheap. Maybe I'll upgrade if my new Salsa choreography starts selling better, then I'll have the extra cash.

Or maybe it's time to jump into the world of newsgroups... though it sounds to simple to just download. Where's the thrill of finding that seconds-old high-demand dvdrip and start seeding at a zillion bytes a second? Plus community is important also to me.

He probably meant GB, no way you can push 5300 TB in 55 days unless you are on an unlimited dedicated gigaE line.

I used newsgroups for about 7 months. I didn't max out my connection, only got 8 mB/s down. Had a 100/10 so I should have been able to get an additional 2mB/s.

But yeah it was nice. I just found it to be kinda lonely though, not much community going unless you read all those text files people upload, but then you'd have to download them to read them and stuff. Also I found it hard to find everything I wantedm, had to go to a bunch of different nzb indexing sites and search and even then I sometimes wouldn't find what i was looking for. There wasn't much scene material either, and the stuff I could find had the nfo's ruined and replaced with that Teabag stuff.

I just think bittorrent is more fun, but I might get a new giganews account as it was quite useful sometimes.

Lol yeah I just re-read that post... the dude for sure meant 5300 gb, unless he has no idea what a TB is .

This went from a seedbox poll/thread to a newsgroups thread? NG are old school and still widely used but not as good as BT or as fast with releases for the most part, plus most people have to pay for something you can get for free, faster and easier for the most part from BT. I use NG's on occasion and still find them useful for some odd things I need or older files but they are not as good as fun as bt is all around. It is safer than bt. A dying breed indeed who still stick with it daily though..... As for maxxing out connections I can do it with both so its a matter of what better suits the user. I prefer BT.

With a seedbox, for 30-40 $ you can upload quite some stuff in your beloved trackers. Then you quit the seedbox, and leech up to a 1:1 ratio (or even worst). Depending on your connection, you can survive some time.

I'm on the uploading procedure now, so i can leech after
