Are Newsgroup speeds better than other filesharing methods?

[Amazonqueen]

I've never used newsgroup software, so I was wondering if you get better download speeds on newsgroups? I'd start using them if so.

Newsgroups are the 2nd best option. 1st of course being FTP sites.

anyone on ntl??

jus wonderin if their newsgroups are any good

Im on NTL mate, ive got the 2meg and it maxes out my connection at 240k a second.

The news servers are ok, pretty good for free. Its all I use now. I only download movies though from alt.binaries.movies.divx. There seem to be a few missing parts with each movie but these can be re-created with .par files. They seem to have about a weeks retention (maybe 5days, im not at home and I cant remember off hand)

Where are the good ftp sites then?thier hard to find and most if they are good have have to trade and stuff so elaborate please what makes them better more files?more speed? i seriously doubt it because you have to pay for some ftp top sites to and what if that topsite dont have what you want then you have to join another right?Can you pm me an excellent ftp for 0day porn releases that has some of the files from the tehserver.us?Thank You Edit: I see newsgroups are the best afterall.
