Getting slow Torrents with your ISP?

OK, just registered the trial account with Giganews and got sabnzbd. Gonne test out downloads speeds soon with Copposites.
 
Speechless :wtf: My IDM (8 threads) downloads maxes out at around 600KB/s constant (torrents at 450KB/s), sabnzbd with Giganews was definitely maxing out my connection, it took +-15 minutes minutes for 750MB! That is like 800KB/s. Will test out my full 10GB first though...

Odd thing though my data/bandwidth monitoring software is stationery as if nothing is happening...

EDIT: The whole thing seemed like I'm copying a movie from a wireless network (that fast!) One mone t copy, one moment done...

Nzb too complicated. And it costs money. I get 400kB/s and that's plenty speed for me

Who needs Torrents these days!? A good newsgroup account is all one needs :D
 
Initially used torrents but switched over to usenet after doing some research.
Been using usenet for about 2 years now thanks to Garyvdh's tutorial( Thks Gary).Using it with sickbeard and Sabnzbd has made my life so much easier.

Only annoyance are these darn DMCA takedowns which are becoming more prevalent.
 
Anyone know where to get reliable links?

I've downloaded now 2 .rared movies with one of those stupid surveys.
 
With all the attention its been getting, the new stuff is being removed within hours of posting.

So remember kids...first rule of usenet is...

You don't need a paid news server if your ISP offers one, who are you with?

Also NZBMatrix for anything newer than 20 days, NZB.su for anything older, I've never had a password protected .rar.

Of course now that you are on the usenet train you have to look into SickBeard and CouchPotato.

It's a once off payment of $7 and well worth it.Once you have Sickbeard and SABnzbd set-up there is no looking back.

Forgive me, I'm a complete usenet noob. I'm content with torrents and its the cost that puts me off. The costs are paid to who exactly ? Cause if theres a way to get all this going for zero cost other that internet fees... Then I'm interested. I'm with Web Africa.

The uploaded content (nzb's) (like rapidshare, everything is uploaded, not seeded or leeched).
 
The only thing with Usenet becoming more popular is now the DMCA know about it and nuke stuff a few hours after meaning you have to go back to torrenting for half the stuff anyway :/
