I disagree, i have yet to be let down by a GOOD newsgroups server i.e. Giganews

hell yea...

bt.etree.org

Yep it is.
Newsgroups? Bah
In college I used to have tons of time to hang out on IRC chats downloading stuff just to download and feel like I was getting good use of my bandwidth.
BitTorrent has filled that void and made it much more convenient. And yes, it's free.

true.

Kazza lite still works fine for me.

 

[Damaga]

suprnova.org is da bomb

kazza works fine along as you don't mind downloading wrong files half the time, as well as downloading ONE song at a time...

 

[Lil Freek]

torrents is the shizzy.
haven't used kazza in a loong time.. it's all about IRC and torrents.
newsgroups USED to work, until my ISP went to Giganews with a cap of 32kb/s

Kazaa is good for single songs and lots of gambling on quality.

 

[Lil Freek]

use oink.co.uk for songs.. much better.

or just search on google for "<album name> torrent"

My GF uses slsk for music.. she swears by it... she does all the DLing for me

I use torrent a lot lately. once you know a few good sites, your set.

I have always paid for a good usenet server, but lately I am using it less and less as torrents are much faster.
