why not switch to usenet?

[shipwreck]

This is getting a bit tiring to say at least. Somebody should start a similar thread about bittorrent in the Newsgroups section of this board, so we can have a full fledged WAR at least.

Well people that have not used both should not be allowed to really comment in this topic lol. Yes it's getting absurd. It's obvious that a lot of people think usenet is complicated. Maybe they are thinking back in the days where you use Agent Newsreader and you had to download all headers and then search through the headers for stuff. Others think that everything should be given to them for free and they can't afford to pay $10-11 a month for stuff but have no problem paying I don't know $50 for internet and $20 for a seed box. I pay $53 a month for internet and $10 more is not a problem for me and it just makes things so much easier for me too. Of course this is just my opinion.

I think everything related to both sides should have been discussed already. I just found out that a lot of people don't really know how usenet works.

Believe me anything rare that you want uploaded just request it and it will be uploaded lol.

really ?
ok, let's give it a try: i need the full DVD of My Father My Lord AKA Hofshat Kaits.
till now, i only found a xvid rip on KG & PTN (obviously nothing on usenet)

thanks in advance.

you don't have an idea how to use/search newsgroups
do you really think that if a torrent is 3 years old then it is not on usenet because of the 1 year retention?lulululul of course that Kingdom.Of.Heaven.DVDRip.XViD-UNiT is available at usenet plus countless releases for this movie. don't forget it is really popular movie and this is the reason why it has 11 seeders otherwise it would die after a 2-3 months . usenet

WTF :S Are you stupid? You brought up the argument of retention, and when it turns out that many torrentsites can have the same torrent for several years you disregard your preasous rentention and say: "it is on usenet anyways, someone uploaded it again". wtf man? Usenet might be good, but just admit that good torrentsites kick usenet's retention! If it was okey to upload the content again it is not about retention anymore, torrents can be uploaded again if they die as well...

It appears to be a israeli movie? you might friend might be SOL. I also would love to find divx of a Spanish show called "Bienvenidos" it was on Univision for a while and is made in Venezuela. Unfortunatelly it is no where to be found. If it was released on DVD you should be able to ask on some israeli forums for it though.

There are things that we just can't have I guess

[cinephilia]

yeah, it has been released on DVD but i don't speak a single word of hebrew and i doubt israelis would take my request in consideration in a forum... so why not giving a try to usenet ?

usenet seems great, but bittorrent is cheaper and it works for my needs

Guys don't bother arguing with these usenet slaves. They think they're elitist because they have to do more things in order to get their files. They think just because they can use newsleecher and quickpar they're smarter than the entire bittorent community.

I used newsgroups for 2 years and 90% of the community are leechers. Like I said before good luck finding rare files on usenet. (Main reason I switched.)

mmmm usenet is pay 2 leech unelss I missed something here?

Oh yeah I agree with you. If you like rare things and only rare things then use a tracker or a forum that has rare things only. Like what kind of things are you talking about and what trackers meet your needs?

For example I use retromags.com to find scans of old video games magazines because there is no other place that has such collection. Not usenet or torrents. U-G has some but not nearly as close to retromags.

How can you possibly attempt to ask others if they are "stupid" when your post is as off base as any I've seen in this thread.

Seriously, your statements are completely skewed and cannot be backed up by any sort of rationale thought process whatsoever.
