Thread: DDL/Usenet vs. Torrents ?

I'm a newsgroup person , only downside is retention and cost , so that's why I'm trying to get into the world of private trackers and also looking for a decent seed box

Torrents I think are way better especially private trackers, less chance of viruses and speed is great and can find almost anything you want

I've always used torrents but a few friends of mine have recommended MegaShare because of its speed and easy-access to 'any program on the internet'. I have doubts :P

i have use everyone of those, without a doubt i prefer torrents over everything else, fasters speeds, things you will rarely found often on the internet, etc.

What do you guys think about warez ?

Wow this is an hard question ;) I guess each one has his advantages.. I personnaly use a lots of torrents / usenet..

The advantage of torrent..

they are free
Pretty fast release compare to scene PRE
if the torrent file is on a private tracker.. no viruses.. no fake.. etc.
sharing the good with others!
good for finding older release

The disadvantage of torrent
might contains some virus/fake ( public tracker )
Doesn't always max my connection

Advantage of usenet
Always max my connection
uber fast on release time

Disadvantage of usenet :
Usually cost around 10$/month ( USD )
Sometime has to use par2 files to repair archives
Only good for new release ( my own 2 cents )
Some files might have password depending on wich newgroup you get it..

So this is the way i get my stuff ;) both of them are good! but i prefer torrent since I feel that i can help through sharing! ;)

Nix_qc.

DDl's for small stuffs

Torrents for Big Ones :D
