have you used newsgroups before? its like that but you get almost everything
it's more like seedbox vs. usenet because torrents are free of charge normally.
Usenet sucks.Just stick with torrents.
However, you can use a limited version of it and its usually free as in comes with the package. Ask your ISP about their offering of newsgroups, they usu dont charge anything extra 4 it.
I heard good things about UseneXt. Don't have any personal experiences tho
You want to try Usenet for free? Have a look at this:
Just4Today.NET - Free Usenet
The username and password only work for one day. ~10 days retention. And if you need NZBs (the equivalent of .torrents), FST is a great place to get them.
I have heard some people say it's a scam, a few that it's great, and some others that it's good but not the best... :rolling_eyes:
If you're wanting to go with Usenet, I personally would recommend you try either Giganews or Astraweb. Lately I've been using Astraweb as I can buy bandwidth chunks instead of paying a set fee per month, I think it's $25 for 180GB or $10 a month unlimited. Very useful for me considering I only have 90GB downloads per month, and they have either European or USA servers for you to choose from (with SSL or SSL v2 if necessary).
To get the NZB files (think .torrent files, but for Usenet) I either use Binsearch (free) or Nzbmatrix (once off payment).
Bit-Torrent is my only file sharing sharing. I haven't tried any other but i'm hoping
What is the difference between Usenet and Newsgroups ?And also what are NZBs ? Another way than BT and Usenet ?
Please someone clear it for me :rolleyes2:
NZBs are files just like rar and zip are file. They usually appear on usenets and are used by news readers and can automatically be reassembled into their complete whole.
Usenet is the collective name for news groups
NZB being particular to usenets an be differentiated to yEnc as one is a file and the latter is plain text just like mime used in email.
However, if your talking about efficiency you cannot go past tried and tested p2p because usenets are centralised in data storage and requires that the servers have massive bandwidth to serve everyone from the servers where as each client in a p2p can act as a server too

I don't think he's talking about cheating applications:unsure:Quote:

Usenet is the network, newsgroups are where discussion (or binaries) are posted.
NZBs are roughly the equivalent of .torrent files, I explained it above.
Other ways of downloading other than BitTorrent and Usenet..? There are a lot :wink:
Get your NZBs from sites where users upload them instead of scripts, FST for example. This way you're much less likely to download an infected app.
