Never pay for File Sharing?

With bittorrent my cap is over 900kbs. for me paying for somthing even a little goes agianst what Piracy really is. anyway I bet I can find anything on bittorrent sites that you can find on news groups!
 
Here is what I pay for to download warez.
Food, electricity, appartment, ADSL, bus to work, Giganews account, computer equipment, toothpaste, coffee (oh yeah you need it to stay online), soap, clothing (for work), light bulbs (or else the eyes goes to hell) etc etc etc.

My life is just about internet and downloading... smart guys says I got no life of course, but I'm happy!
 
All I can say is good luck to those that want to use p2p. I also have been down that road and just love sitting on a tracker for weeks to get a 100 meg file. Also in UK many ISP's limit your usage both up and down. Therefore BT becomes even less attractive. I want a 4 Gig DVD on BT that means 8 gig usage to include my up and down share ratio. My ISP restricts to 50 gig per month. It is a no brainer usenet wins.

I would also just like to say hi to the forum....

Cheerio
 
Doesn't newsgroups contradict the claim "Never pay for File Sharing!"? I mean, people are paying money for the "quality" servers aren't they? Maybe the saying should be changed to "Occasionally pay for File Sharing!"?. I just put this out as something to think about.
 
It is true BUT that message is meant for n00bs to filesharing who may see the ads for kazaa gold and other things then go out and buy it which is NOT worth any money.

Umm, did you take a wrong turn somewhere? This is the Newsgroups sub forum. :rolleyes:
 
Many people don't pay for newsgroups, but people do pay for convenience. A quality pay server removes the need to multiplex several free news servers together into a virtual quality server.
 
I have been using newsgroups for over a month and it is well worth the paying the small monthly fee. I can find some things on there I can't find on bt at all. And there is always a good speed. I have never been under a steady 730 kbs, sometimes I hit over 800. But I do go between the both. I use bt sometimes for items that I don't see on any newsgroup.
 
For me its not just speed, its fast releases, different content, security, and best of all no uploading or begging for tracker invites :)

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry dude, but i played the BT game and have had accounts at numerous private trackers including but not limited to Demonoid, BitSoup, Bitme, TL, FL, Oink, Pisexy, F*N, BitMeTv, HDBits, and the content on Usenet continues to blow my freakin mind.

I will not go into specifics, but I just downloaded (from usenet) the first 8 seasons of my favorite show in DVD-R format, before this ofcourse i scoured the BT network and came up with 1 season.
This is just but one of numerous examples of the insane content of news groups.

Look into a 3-day free trial at giganews, just to see what you are missing.
 
I think it means "Never pay for P2P".
Newsgroups access is probably one of the best investments a computer user would make. Most software is then free.

you pay for bandwidth service not the actual content itself

so the claim "never pay for file sharing" still stands
