What's wrong with FTP sites? I'm on 2 of them from my MIRC days. I prefer scene rips over rips on torrent sites.

Usenet - if you can afford to blow $10 a month, you will never look back at torrents or ftp again.

I pay for Giganews, since that's how I watch ALL my TV. Totally worth being able to download at full capacity. For me it used to be 30 Mbps but now it's just 8

i've been using usenet for +3 years and am quite pleased with it

i pay about $8/month and i think it's totally worth it in terms of downloading speeds

i first learned how to try usenet through gizmodo

Yea I have it set to use 5 connections, I see it says 611 kbps on your picture. That's pretty much what I've been getting. I thought you meant 5mbps though.

611KB/s is not the same as 611kbps.

611KB/s is 4.8mbps

Guide to newsgroups: Slyck.com - Guide To The Usenet Newsgroups - QuickStart

I read this guide years ago, and though they've made many changes ever since, it was really helpful for me to learn about usenet/newsgroups.

BTW, private torrent sites is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. That, and paying for a "seed box" BT kids trying to make their junk all elitist.
