[QUOTE="JoshuaT, post: 2419036, member: 255101"] Just need a little opinion as to which option I should go for. I've been using torrents for a long time, probably average about 20gb worth of downloads easily per month. Call me slow, but i only recently stumbled across "Newsgroups" that seem to offer guaranteed faster download speeds, with less risk at the cost of about US$10 per month (approximate price that would cover the size of my usual monthly downloads). My question would be, is the cost of $10 per month worth it? Cash really isnt an issue for me, but how quickly I can get my files is, i.e. Will I be able to watch that latest TV show on the same day its screened with minimal waiting via downloading? Are files in newsgroups updated as frequently as torrents? Are they as easily searchable? [/QUOTE]
