why not switch to usenet?

Open an NZB, it loads the files and Newsleecher which also auto repairs and extracts, that's just about as easy as it gets, so please don't talk absolute shit.

There is room for both formats, so I really don't see what the big deal is tbh.

Do you honestly think I care if some movie is released 2h or 2d before another on some tracker or Usenet?

yes, that's precisely the point: 'noobs' don't have to learn anything to make a successful search on bt trackers

Anyone that has to ask how to find something obvious does not know how to search. You are missing another point. To be able to find something on BT you sometimes need to search through 5-10 different trackers. I don't see how that makes it easier for newbs?. I know this because I used to be stuck getting something from Demonoid because it was too old for other trackers. That's why Usenet is the way to go for me.

you don't need to search through 5-10 trackers when you know what you're looking for (classic, 0day, anime, tv-show etc...).
anyway...

I think you have too much faith on your trackers cinephilia. I already told you that I was looking for stuff too old for the main trackers that the only place to find them was demonoid of a public tracker since retention there is better.

You are failing to realize that a lot of torrents go dead after a month sometimes. In fact I swear I said this more than once to you. So really dude!!

WiseD are you just a 12 year kid looking for some attention? I think you may have the wrong guy. Go and play Pokemon with your DS! Gotta catch them all.

I was never aware that torrents have retention. Is this a concept you've just invented?

**saulin** · 04-30-2009, 09:20 PM

Nope retention is a term that is referred to how long something is stored on a usenet server before it gets deleted.

You are right because BT does not have a central server seeds could just vanish and they just die. Then days later or week and sometimes months later a seed may show up for that torrent. That's why torrents don't stay up for a slong as files stay on usenet. So that's why torrents don't really have retention.

I just call it retention because that's the usenet term.
