Are Newsgroup speeds better than other filesharing methods?

Haha you are wrong - he was talking about topsites.
You only get access if the scene wants you to get access and you deserve it, i.e. become part of a top warez group.

They are the root of (almost) all warez. Often on GigE or 100mbit FTPs and with less people using them so just like newsgroups you get really really fast speeds.
You get all of the files first because that is where the scene releases them.

Often some topsites specialise in certain types of files - but there are some Big Archive sites around - have you ever read an nfo file they often mention the software the FTP was running on and the scripts. glFTPd? Hoops topsite scripts? (etc...)
And they are all sort of connected to be honest - what gets released in one gets couriered into one of the others etc...

Not that I know anything.

Yep, you'll almost always max your connection.

I have a 10 meg line, I max it on usenet, I don't need anything else.

Having said that I also use BT for stuff I can't get on usenet.

Or Soulseek sometimes.

I don't really fancy the idea of connecting to FTP sites where the big nobs hang out. It just seems too much like drawing attention to yourself.

That application is Newsleecher. It'd be nice if that was all there was to that program, however there is ALOT of crap he cut off for that image.

*Bright idea- Someone should make a Newsleecher lite version; N-lite!
