Do you use Newsgroups?

I use newsgroups for these reasons 1, Maxing out 2, vintage films and other files you wont find on p2p, DC, IRC, torrent-sites etc 3, it's safer.



BTW, My ISP does not have a.b.boneless (it's the only one I'm missing) and I know there be a lot of releases there. Is there a free-server with that group?
 
i still think that for music soulseek or bittorrent (i.e. OINK.ME.UK) is nicer.
I have to say that you need to get used to the information overflow that usenet generates! Just for that matter are most bittorrent communities more relaxed. Usenet is imo very 'unpersonal'....

One of the most important things is that at least here in the Netherlands the dl of music, movies and games i's NOT illegal. Uploading and distributing it, is!
(strange thing is that dl
 
I think it's safer than P2P. Getting less press. Let's keep it that way. Stay off the RIAA/MPAA's radar!
Plus, you know when the stuff is going to be downloaded. Much less frustrating.
 
I love Usenet. I would much rather download from a newsgroup than with BitTorrent. Its just 1 connection... rather than hundreds. The speed is incredible with my free ISP server. I can download all the xbox games i want at superduper light speed! :lol:

One note for people new to newsgroups and Usenet... be careful which articles you download. there are a TON of viruses, trojans, etc. on Usenet. Do not download anything unless you know exactly what it is or you have trust in the server you are downloading from.
