Shows that I will download this DVD9 in 1hour and 52 minutes. This could never be done with a torrent.
please don't ever use the words 'could never be done' in an statement like
that...
i have a 20Mbit downstream setup, and the newsgroups option was
one of the slowest most painful method i have ever used to get files..
rapid*s*h*a*r*e is about a million times faster for me(ok, maybe slightly
less)....
[sarcasm] i don't care how many (elite) people on here use newsgroups, yeah, i used them 'about' 15 years ago...i'm sorry but that antiquated old method+hokey religion is no match for the fancy torrent software (and a blaster) out there now...
[/sarcasm]
i have download huge torrents at 1.5-2Mbits max speed,=a few hours, so getting huge DVD files is ENTIRELY possible given enough seeders/peers, and a good connection..
in fact, right now i'm getting the 47gig 1080p version of a certain
(ahem) OT right now......and it should be here in a few days..i think
it would take me several weeks using newsgroups, if i could even
find it there....
maybe i should post screenshots from the endless amount of time
it took my newsreader to get the files...
to each their own..
my aren't we impatient people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(spoiled kids need to get off MY LAWN TOO!!!! back in my day we had 300baud
modems, and had to swap floppy discs to get the data
on the other side, and dont EVEN talk to me about
punchcards either!!!)
there, i feel much better now..
later
