20$ (14€) means:
~ 1,5 months of TL VIP; but you need to spend 36$ for 3 months as the smallest unit
320GB upload credit on BitSoup; but you need to spend 25$ for 400GB in form of the current birthday special
2 or 3 months of unlimited Usenet access with a cheap, preferrably European, company like HitNews.eu (3 months for ~27$)
All those options are already mentioned in this thread but I wanted to put some firm data together so you can get a good comparison. Which option you should choose is not that easy, because your usage behavior can make one thing more profitable than another one. Quite simply said: if you plan to download more than 200GB per month then you're be better off with an unlimited offer. If you download less, think about p2l like BitSoup because the credit will remain until you use it up.
Should you choose donating to a tracker or rather use a Usenet provider? Both have advantages and drawbacks which you should best experience for yourself. Just one thing: both TL and BitSoup are somewhat general scene 0day trackers, the same cannot be said for the Usenet. While many groups limit themselves to scene releases the offered content is much more versatile, one good example are many different music newsgroups that can - over time of course - replace the need for a music tracker.
Finally, there's the idea of renting a seedbox which is not really what you asked for. You'd need to pay a bit more than 20$ to get a good deal but generally speaking this proves to be a better value for your money than most p2l or unlimited offers. The largest drawback is that in order to reap the benefits you will need to work for it, by seeding popular content over a length of time.
Usenet for sure. Go get a 25 dollar account and leech leech leech.
rapidshare isnt bad either, 7 euros for a month
