My take is, if its on an NG and its posted well, and it has a rar set for those with bad retention or a dodgy server, Usenet beats Torrents to a bloody pulp.
You get a steady (usually your maximum) download speed, you don;t have to worry about backdoor accessing, its easier, and there is always INSTANT feedback if the files are mot what they claim to be.
The only plus with torrents is you can usually find anything you look for. It may take time to get, but it is hard NOT to find something you might need.
(Now... how do I unsubscribe from this thrad so I don;t get it in my email box?? I'm happy enough to come here and read, but the myriad of *reminders* are annoying!!!! ;' ) )
