    Usnet are good because you don't have to think about seeding, but disadventage is pay for that and usnete don't have such huge collection like bittorrent

    There are many free servers and ways of connecting. Needless to say, you may not get the same results as with a paid service.

    and usnete don't have such huge collection like bittorrent
    It does beat BT for newer stuff, I'd say.

    for german rels : you are wrong. most of the new scenerel are uploaded to the usenet and the german main trackers by the same guys. and they first upload it to some trackers and then upload them to the usenet.

    Usenet is cheaper than seedbox usage and more convenient/easier to use. If I was to compare torrenting on private/public trackers with or without a seedbox usenet would win but torrenting on private trackers with SB-I is a different story.

    I would check the niche (newsgroup) of interest via a usenet search engine or via a trial account to see if you find what you need. I found that for my interest (self-improvement) that focused private trackers had much much more stuff. Managing newsgroup downloads is a hassle too. I much prefer torrent clients over newsreaders.

    This is actually a huge topic, but usenet is fantastic if you know whay youre doing, and are willing to pay for peace of mind and crazy fast downloads. I have a newsdemon account, and a few private torrent accounts, and i use them in combination. Some stuff on usenet you cant find anywhere else, the ease and speed is phenomenal. but its a trade-off. Most usenet hosts have 7 day trials, check one out and see how you like it. I love it, but I wouldnt say its better than a private tracker. i wouldnt say its worse, either.

    Usenet is good stuff.
    However, the first rule of Usenet is: Never talk about Usenet

    Usenet is great, very good speeds, not need to worry about seeding, and in the countries where seeding is illegal you won't get into trouble.
    The only real problem I see with usenet is that you'll have to buy new TBs of Hard-Drives way too frequently, because you'll get into some addicted state where you can't control yourself but download and fill all of your available HD space

    That's hardly Usenet's fault

    I went through the same when I got into torrents. Until not so long ago, I'd visit Fulldls' daily uploads twice a day looking for stuff to leech, and even uploaded a few things there myself. There wasn't a day I didn't download something. uTorrent was leeching almost as long as it was open, which was (and still is, to some extent) as long as my computer was turned on. Joy was waking up or returning home and seeing that torrent I specially wanted had finished downloading.

    Those days are gone. Now I just download a movie every other day.

    Storage is so cheap now, I dont think of that as a disadvantage but an advantage!

    Although, my case is running low on sata ports... this is worrying. Might need to build a fileserver in the garage!
