Usenet vs. Rapidshare

And subscribing to "the best" is your fault. Giganews has 1.25% more rentention, but at the same time is more than twice as expensive as astraweb, and frequently removes articles such as TV shows. Don't use giganews to compare it to rapidshare.

hmm and? your example doesn't mean anything.
topsites=>tops ftp=>private tracker=> NG/public tracker/boards.

usenet hasn't awesome pretime, i knwo all the best sites (private or public/irc requests)for nzb and pretimes for scene stuff are slower than sct for example...
Example Cities XL is leaked and not on NG atm...

and for bones:
!search
Bones.S05E04.720p.HDTV.x264-SiTV ] [ Uploaded first @ TV 1m 25s after pre, followed by [TiT, SCC, PTM, FF, ScR, HT, AL, TL, ACE, DD, sX, TD, BSk, EZTV] ]
!pre

The pretimes depend on what category we are talking about really. For TV releases the pretime is not bad, it's quite fast. Do remember there is more work to do than the torrent sites, the usenet posters have to generate parity files.

Btw, for TV posts, usenet won't beat the top private trackers, since this is where the auto-poster gets the releases from ;)

Noobs. If you upload to a Tracker you just transfer from "Sceneftp" to seedbox. Usenet is "Sceneftp" to uploadserver and then to the usenetprovider.
 
without a doubt has to be newsgroups constant maxing of my connection at a lovely price all the dvds and console games i need to keep the kids and myself happy used torrents before being introduced to newsgroups thought of rapidshare and let that thought just drift on by :):fst::fst::fst:
 
I guess only reason for going for rapidshare is that is has a lot more variety than usenet...can't find a lot of the old tv shows on usenet or if they are there they are all in german or other foreign languages. I am using newzbin.com for indexing. Any other better indexing service?
 
I have always been on the fence about Rapidshare. Somewhat over priced for what you get and no way to search the whole network, got to rely on people posting there own links. Oh yea, and the logging..screw that.

First of all i only use rapidshare during the night so i am allowed to download 50gb per day. That would be 1500gb per month. More than enough i would say?
Advantages of rapidshare clearly are the variety of porn. ;)

So 1500GB of porn a month have you had your eyes tested lately?:naughty:

no not really; newzbin is basically the best.

supersearch is very good too...

and as for free indexers; https://nzbindex.com/
is really starting to shine these days.

binsearch and newzleech seem to be slowly declining, both in turn around time, as well as reliability. newzleech especially.

:huh:

Actually, private trackers can get their releases from a number of places.. such as private IRC channels and private hubs that contain a few different tracker uploaders that share their axx with eachother. It is not always straight from an FTP.

Same with usenet, the releases can come from many diferrent places. Some of the content posted will come from scene ftps, then uploaded from a server. For 0sec TV however, the auto-poster gets it from private trackers. I know who runs the auto-poster and a few other people that use it to fill stuff, hence how I know where it gets releases from.

So, in my opinion, it is YOU that is the noob. :P

My only problem with Usenet is i cant find a newsreader im happy with. Newsbin was great until the trial ran out and i havent found a cracked version that works too well. I moved on to using Grabit but i can never max out my download speeds on it.

Then again with rapidshare you just need Orbit or Flashget and you are all good.

You only have to pay a one time fee for Alt.Binz (NZB only) and Newsbin Pro, then you have free upgrades forever.
 
i think there is no reason to leave one for another. They complement eachother. Keep all your options open, find what you need where you can, where its available . But keep your connection safe. That's the most important thing is to try to be as safe as you can.

Search German in any NZB serach eninge and you get all the shows you could ever want, and you can request them too. And you do know there are IRC's for requsting those odd ball shows too?
