Well, paying for a premium newsgroup service is usually required. But if you can afford it, it's no harder to learn than torrents and so much faster. I used to be very leary, it seemed so damned complicated (especially so, being a mac user). I can now download a dvd in around 2 hours. Plus there are no stupid ratios to deal with. Since I got my Giganews account, I have yet to fire up Azureus.
