Usenet better then torrents

>>59444056
Torrents b/c im not a crusti old man xD

>>59444056
usenet is always superior. problem is it costs money which kinda defeats the point.

>>59444056
almost every private tracker I know have poor data retention

usenet does not have this problem

>>59444073
then you only know of curry private trackers.

the top tier ones have excellent retention

I don't even think people upload to usenet anymore. I used to use it..for stuff.

When will this paying-to-pirate meme die?

>>59444501

When it's more cost effective to not

My Usenet when it's all said and done costs me roughly $13AUD a month

>>59444056

Completely incomparably.

- Usenet is faster
- Bittorrent has more content and better retention.

>private trackers are draconian

what? they make you seed back what you leech, yes, but how is that draconian? if you use the swarm's resources, you should be expected to give back some of your own by seeding

there is the flaw, mister
free for a month, then you are jewed

>- Bittorrent has more content and better retention.

My Usenet provider has almost 9 fucking years of content.

>pull a file from 8 years ago literally (March 3 2009)
>full speed for the entire 4.3GB DVD ISO start to finish
>go looking for torrents for the same DVD ISO
>find 11 torrents
>not one seeder

So no, while BitTorrent feasibly COULD offer pretty good retention and COULD offer good speeds if a file was still being seeded then MAYBE it could be competition but as it stands it's NOT.

>been using Usenet since the 80s and long before UUENCODE was even implemented

You kids have no idea how far we've come, you really don't have a fucking clue.

What are good usenet providers if I wanted to switch from Bittorrent?

>>59444636
all the shit that's on usenet comes from the bittorrent community

that dvd iso is almost certainly on passthepopcorn, well-seeded and ready to go. and even if not, you can just post a request, put a hefty bounty on it and you'll get it in no time

feels good to not be retarded

>>59444619
how many providers are there? how many different ips can you get? also i dont need a provider every day. I can spend weeks or months without it.
>>59444592
you won

>>59444073
Spotted the retard. You know usenet is dying because of DMCA take downs.

>>59445456
You're just not fast enough.
Usenet is for scene automated scene uploads and automation in general.

>>59445513
Why must I pay and still do the work? If I pay for something, it will be for my convenience. This is why torrents will always be better. Publictrackerfags stay ass raped.

For me it's the Linux kernel with SkinCancer
