If you don't mind forking over
$11+/month, Usenet is the way to go. It is a
far superior method of obtaining files than torrents.
Some people, even after experimenting with it find that they would rather download content for free, but even those are few and far between. And even of those, they
never choose to revert due to lack of content.
Usenet was around way before private BT trackers. It predates them by some twenty years and releases of apps, TV programs, and the latest films traditionally go to Usenet first. It's always been that way. Usenet and its numerous groups, has many, many more uploaders than any private torrent site.
Now I'm not saying that some BT trackers don't have uploaders that cap TV shows or crack programs and release them exclusively to the site but Usenet is the place for getting releases first. You have to know the right groups, of course, but once you've got your favorite groups entrenched in your newsreader of choice, you'll find everything you need and will be able to download it sooner and faster than if you relied on your private tracker.
Using Giganews and Alt.Binz I have 240+ days of content to download* at max speeds which downloads, fixes, and extracts itself.
* As an example, Newzbin can provide me with approximately 120,000 posts of content** whilst the average on my private trackers is about 10,000. Usenet search engines reveal
literally hundreds of thousands of files available.
** That's new and old content. At max speed. All the time. With no need to upload.
There really is no comparison.
