This is B*llshit, there isn't a faster way to get your data then through usenet! Simply because it uses the maximum bandwith as agreed with your provider (if you have a good usenet provider) I got this baby in 40 minutes from usenet to my HD (20Mbit), you will never get this speeds from torrents or rapidshare.......

ok, since you started this, i'm just going to post my rebuttal to you, and that
will be it...i'm tired of telling you people (and that includes all you
other 'newsgroup' groupies)...I'M NOT AGAINST NEWSGROUPS,
but THEY'RE NOT FOR EVERYONE.....how do you think i got it in the
first place?????......
i have a 20mbit down/5mbit up connection from COX internet service,
and yes, i'm on 24/7 constantly uploading/downloading stuff..
so it's not like i don't know how to set things up...
by the way, i easily max out my download rate from rapidshare..maybe YOUR
account is being limited, ever think of that?or maybe YOU don't know how
to setup your torrent software to get the fastest speeds?
picture 1 of when i started downloading from the newsgroups:
note the the starting date/time : 5/15/2008 11:04 pm
(got the .NFO later)..

(and yes, i have about 12 versions of star wars ep4 on my removable hard disk right now!).
By the way, the downloading stopped, and died out near the end,
so i had to go back and redownload a whole bunch of parts later..
wow, that was fun (sarcasm).
note : each piece took about 20 minutes to download
finished time.. : 5/18/2008 1:20pm (due to redownloading parts)

wow a whole 3 days, boy was the quick [sarcasm] (actually it wasn't that
bad)
look, i don't have time to fake these pictures, and sit here debating
with a bunch of you impatient people....fine, your so leet you can
get it in 1hour!!!! good for you!!!!!! i'm happy.....but are you sharing
it out?????? THATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TORRENTS AND
NEWSGROUPS!!
STOP COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES., the only reason i keep
bringing up good/bad comparisons, is because there's a lot of
questions about how to get this release...
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......................and thanks to all
you newsgroup people, i will NEVER post files in the newsgroups
due to all the issues...torrents first, and then rapidshare, so
don't ever expect to see anything from me there..
later
