    I used it in the beginning when it was new.. but than i switched to torrent.
    In my oppinion its a waste of money.. cause u can get the same files for free..

    One-click-hosters too have the data, and they sell premium access for it. All in the end, Usenet and one-click-hosters "share" the same business method.

    They defend themselves saying that they can't be held responsible for users actions because they only provide access to usenet, and acts like a mail carrier. (for posts ~ uploads)

    -Same principle goes eventually with RS

    But in principle anyone can access the files, money only gets you increased privileges on the site.

    Does it make the difference if you don't sell it for everyone? Still, if really large group is paying for it, provider profits from it. Then the situation is almost the same.

    In theory, anyone can post a binary for any file, but from what I know, you'll mostly find newer stuff. Even so, the most retentive providers hold posts for 600-700 days before deleting them.

    I used before years usenet but after torrents be well known to all its not worth the cost that must pay for it.It has very good speeds but the torrents is a different philosophy and i love it.

    Many pay for seedbox for be good in torrent trackers.But hei wake up just RM and you can do everything without pay nothing.

    So, the BitTorrent philosophy is "sharing is caring", yet you bypass it using the RM.

    I was just poking some fun at you, because that's how I am.

    I know upload speeds aren't the best for many of us, and it'd definitely be hypocritical from me to criticize your cheating.

    I used to have Giganews, but the monthly fees weren't convenient for me..

    Anything I wanted on usenet I could get on rapidshare or a public torrent tracker.

    Do Usenet providers ban countries or something?

    Many ISPs don't provide newsgroups access themselves, but you can always shell out a few bucks and pay for Giganews/Astraweb/etc.

    It is good if you have a good NZB tracker and a good usenet provider. I used to use it when my ISP gave it free, but I noticed there is a TON of issues with incomplete stuff
