    it's more like seedbox vs. usenet because torrents are free of charge normally.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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

    SBI provides a huge range of mods and tools buy expert coders. You have everything at your finger tips here :). Why would you want to go elsewhere?

    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

    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.

    Sounds like a seedbox like Instab said

    By the way to my mind Bitorrent + SB-I mods fulfill my downloading needs right now!
