Whatever your max speed is then that's what you download at, no sitting waiting around as your movie, game, album or whatever comes down at just a few 'K' a second. And it happens, we've all been there, anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Usenet is your friend. Do your research and embrace it, because the way things are going it's the only way you're doing to guarantee a steady stream of content.

Viral marketing? I don't get you. As for paying to pirate, you're doing that anyway when you settle your internet bill at the end of every month so what's the difference?

Man, I really hope you're not serious. Paying for A and ripping B for free, or paying for A+B. That's the friggin difference. If I had spare cash lying around, I'd rather spend it on a faster connection. Phuck paying to rip. If you're fine with that, then why not just buy everything? Based on your argument, the only gripe you'd have left is how much you actually pay for said rips. Really though, you made a valid point about speed, if, and only if, they can match the availability of material like BTjunkie did. I don't care how fast a link downloads, if the site doesn't host a thing worth actually downloading. BTjunkie had a ridiculously large variety of torrents. Every private tracker/usenet/wannabe I've ever used pales in comparison. On top of that, the NEWEST material was always available. And viral marketing was a joke. Don't get it? Really?

Would you buy 1 DVD/bluray movie for 20$ or would you buy 1 month of usenet or filehosts premiums for 7$ to download more than 100 movies

I would gladly pay studios for a movie if it cost me 20 cents to download but we know thats not going to happen so the next best thing is paying someone else 20cents for that movie. Yes i know it sucks to pay even those 20 cents to someone when u use to get it for free but that service you are getting is worth it, no more waiting for seeders and from what i understand that, newsgroups download cannot be tracked by the isp, i may be wrong here.

why don't we just create a ps3iso usenet newsgroup?

if it is possible, i am willing to donate

NOOOOOOOOOOO WHY BTJUNKIE?! It's the only site I download torrents from. Megaupload and now this. I'm really pissed off now!

everything gets dumped first to newsgroup unless its a p2p personal rip and even then it gets put on newsgroups
