why not switch to usenet?

[mol3culez]

No wonder you like newsgroup so much. Your trackers are terrible!!
SCC pwns pretimes and usually gives me max download speeds.

Heres the stats for that release.
(07:06:17) (@PRE) [PRE SEARCH] [ The.Simpsons.S20E18.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION ] [ TV / Family_Animation ] [ Released 10h 10m 43s ago [4/26/2009] ] [ 585.0MB in 16F ](07:04:31) (@Tracers) [SEARCH] [ The.Simpsons.S20E18.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION ] [ Uploaded first @ SCC 4m 27s after pre, followed by [ThB, ScT, TGB, TL, TD, TV, TB, DH, ScR, HT] ]

Another site not mentioned above that beats ScT roughly 98% of the time on pre-times, and posted is GFT. For that same Simpsons episode GFT dropped at 2009-04-27 0116 with a pre-time of 4 min 34 sec. It took it a while longer to hit usenet for sure. If you have sites like GFT, or Sct, or a couple of others that have great pre times you just won't have a need for usenet. Once again it is all about personal choice really.

More pre- racing shit. Honestly, as if a few hours makes any fucking difference.
Since I don't check usenet until I get home from work, I'm already about 16hrs behind the upload... but on usenet no-one else knows what I'm downloading unless they're already watching me and by then I'd be fucked whichever source I choose.

Well the reason the pre's were mentioned was because the guy tried to make the point that usenet gets stuff faster than trackers.

All peeps are doing is proving him wrong

You really are a twat.

Yet another chapter in that big ass book called "You Can't Please Every Fucking Body". This thread could go on and on until the end of time with no end in site. I can say that I did as I said I would and got a Usenet account with NewsDemon and I did get it at 35% off for the lifetime of the account by using that coupon. That made them drop quite a bit in price. So far though I have not been all that impressed but there is still plenty of time to get to a point I am comfortable doing Usenet if I really had to, I still can't see swapping torrents to usenet though.

Funny cause I did. It's so much more convienient and I spend much less time tracking things down. The best of all is that you can leech whatever you want cause it's all paid for

You are still a rookie to usenet. You need to learn how to find things, what's the best way to grab stuff. The key is searching for stuff without relying on NZB sites. really the adavantage of BT is pre times and who gets a release minutes after it's release? I'm so busy with stuff that I get to the stuff I want days later and sometimes weeks and sometimes months lol.

You are trying to point out that Usenet has faster pre than private trackers? I mean, cmon, dont be silly. Not that i do give a shit about pretimes, but you are completly wrong on this one.

Yea, right.

Now add-in a full bandwidth download (about 30 minutes on cable)... with no need to seed it back.
