Bittorrent quicker than Newsgroups?

Well, I just tried Giganews for two days, and I think torrent sites are much more effective!

why do you think that

[Terisa]

With Usenet I start later and finish earlier than a torrent.

what I see is a release comes up on a private IRC. From their they hit the newsgroups and then on to bit torrent sites. If you are waiting for newsgroup info site to tell you when something has been posted you could be on a second generation copy by that time. If you don't do your own searches you are losing out.

My Usenet download speed reaches the maximum bandwidth throughput all the times
BT is really fast only if there are numerous seeds and leeches

Yes, bittorrent has better pre times. Too bad it is lacking in good content because people are missing out on great older releases because of the fixation on new ones.

I love the fact that I can download a new tv episode in 5 to 10min off the usenet, bittorrent is just to slow and you could never see that kind of speed.

:blink: hehehehe - maybe u should avoid trackers like torrentspy and demonoid.

I can download 350 - 700 MB tele rips in 5 to 10 mins (or less) with bittorrent, :huh: absolutely no need to pay for usenet to get speeds like that in my case. The pre times @ the top BT trackers can NOT be beat IMO, the only thing better than the elite trackers would be to have actual Scene axx.

Maybe you should try different trackers or different ISP.

paying for a service (usenet) that supplies you warez is lame anyways.

Never pay for File Sharing!

Torrents are good because they take less work. However Usenet is way faster, also, if you are using a router, most routers get totally flooded, and you have to restart your router.

files may be released on torrents a shot time before usenet but with torrents being pretty slow most of the time and usenet maxing out my connection every time i would still get it on usenet faster than torrents.
torrents is for the weird and wonderful stuff for me nothing else

I find the actual pretimes to be lower on some bittorrent sites but in terms of download speed newsgroups are faster
