Newsgroups vs high level trackers

[Funkin']

And all along i've been thinking people go to trackers to download stuff. I can't believe I was so wrong (sarcasm). Who cares if usenet don't have a good community, that's what this forum is for.

It's not even about that for most torrenters these days. Alot of them like to rent a box just so they can jump on all the newly uploaded shit, whether they want it or not, just to increase their buffer for bragging rights. Or they jump from site to site trying to get in the latest, most rare, or "highest level" tracker. Which they all have the same content as a "lower level" tracker. It's not even about the content or community(which is such a lame excuse for wanting a tracker anyways) for a lot of them. For most it's all about the e-penis, which is pathetic.

Luckily with Usenet you don't have to deal with any of that shit. You grab your file and you're done.

High level trackers

On the torrent trackers have paks movies (ScT, SCC, TL, iTS etc.) , the news does not.

Private Torrent Trackes, in my opinion, are simply better: free; files pre-tested by a responsible member; speed and availability usually par with newsgroups/usenet... Ok, worrying about your ratio is a pain sometimes, but it's better than paying money...

I prefer high level trackers of course!

Totally.

Stick to torrents.

that is what i feel

All have merits but with seed boxes maxing out connections your a ratio can take a hammering that you can never get back on HLT's. In my mind I use BT for stuff I cannot find on NG's but I use p2p as a last resort. I am not having a go at p2p just an ordinary guy I cannot afford a box and a NSP. So I just download what I reallly need off p2p and then hopefully I can seed back.

I prefer usenet as it takes the headache out of getting ratio 1:1 or better. Simple really that is the only reason I prefer usenet.

As for communties what is wrong with FST and its very good NZB section.

3) Higher risk of being caught in a swarm

I have to agree on this point though i prefer bt, maybe i will change my mind later.

about the discussion which is better, my vote goes to newsgroups ( sounds bit strange right, no i dont think so)

point of piracy--->you don't have to pay for anything except your monthly internet bill.

Any pay-for service defies that. Anybody who uses those services are not true pirates
