why not switch to usenet?

[saulin]

Actually I think you just misinformed people here buddy. I'm Spanish and I know what music I want and neither What or Waffles meet my needs lol.

Oh my! some people really just talk out of their asses.

It is not an spanish tracker you know. I am not a member of either of them that is, what and waffles, yet if you think of it that way, there is no turkish music there as well, indian, japanese, chinese, korean, singapore and et cetera. It is an english tracker after all, you cant actually expect to find all you are looking for in one place. If that doesnt meet your needs, then choose another, yet dont badmouth it just because it doesnt have what you want. Generally, both of them are good trackers. Yet doesnt actually meet what i need or luv as well.

Like I said some people just talk out of their asses. What part of it doesn't meet my needs didn't you understand? I'm entitled to my opinion lol. I didn't say it was a worthless tracker. And if you read my post above I said I rarely use them for music and there is a good reason for it. And you got something right yay! you cannot find everything in one place.

waffles & what.cd miss paco ibanez albums, the greatest spanish singer ever in my eyes
that doesn't mean they're not worthwhile though...

Just like usenet does not have your israeli movie eh? But guess what. That doe not make it useless. Oh yeah could you please quote the msg where I said that those trackers are not worthwile? I simply said it does not meet my needs for music. Of course you know better than me what music I like.

Oh yeah you can also read my previous post lol I said the same thing to the last guy

Attached are my Waffles stats

13 snatches yay! probably some apps and some songs.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, yet the way you talked about what n waffles gave me the impression that they are not actually good tracker. Yet they are even though just like most sites they lack certain things as well.

huh?
take it easy, i didn't say anything about your music tastes - i don't give a flying fuck.

I use both personally.

90%- Usenet
10%- Torrents

Luckily for me I get Usenet access with Astraweb through my ISP for free so the best of both worlds.

As for pretimes I mainly download TV shows and they are available there about 2-3 minutes after they are on torrent site.

Retention at least if you have both and you are looking for something old, then your are likely to find what you want.

Speed well I give the advantage to Usenet over Torrents, but there is only like a 1 mintue difference with a fast torrent site.

Convenience I give to Usenet as I use Newsleecher which does all the saerching, paring, unraring and deleting for me

Cheaper- In my case neither. But if you have to pay for Usenet access and pay for a seedbox to get your ratio up for 1 month only then Torrents. If you use a seedbox on a ongoing basis then Usenet.

Have both if you can and you are covered.

*trolling thunder*

I tried using torrents for a week. I moved something like 200GBs total traffic. I thought to myself again why usenets might be better: ISPs have less economic incentive to monitor or regulate the bandwith used. Bittorrent generally requires much more bandwith, assuming you're seeding to a minimal 1:1, then you're using twice the bandwith than just downloading the file would be. And I'm sure many of you use more than that (I certainly hit 2-3 times upload on popular HD movies even though I removed the torrent within a 12-24 hours.

[shipwreck]

So what's the conclusion? What is better? Usenet or bittorrent? Everything is a bit vague, I think this has not been discussed thoroughly yet...

[Stellar]

This has been an interesting thread with lots of different arguments and view brought up, but I think that many people are just feeding the fire now.

Conclusion: Both are useful and have their purposes.

I use both, lots of other people do, and it works.

There. Done.

[saulin]

I use both... I just preffer usenet. 90% of my stuff comes from usenet, then I try to use rapidshare and last torrents. I think that if you want to be able to grab what you want whenever you want you need more than 1 source.

[captive]

vast majority of stuff i get is from NG, SABnzbd just does the lot for ya, downloads, unrars, moves it to the required folder, all i got to do is click play on my ps3

but i still get the odd pack from one of my 2 trackers [TL/FTN] coz their stuff kicks ass

[SonsOfLiberty]

Well I must be the un normal one, Usenet only, unless I'm downloading free stuff then that's http our course ....haven't touched torrents in like 6 months.
