Ok well I'm basically asking if anyone has much experience with usenet as opposed to torrents; I have had to join UseNext with a trial account to download some pr0n, but I've had to stuff around with .par files and missing parts of a 3 gig archive argh, is this par for the course? Download speeds were impressive, but if I'm going to be paying 10 bucks a month for the service I don't want to go through this process with everything!

usenet is just as fast as torrenting. Same thing, just less "well known" as torrenting.

Torrents are shared from peer to peer. Newscripts are direct downloads from servers with a number of connections. There is no uploading so their a hell of alot quicker.

I've noticed that alot of torrents are just recycled Newscripts.

Par files are to repair the broken / missing rar files.

Get a subscription to v3 newzbin. Its an indexing site . It costs like $2 a week or month... not sure... You can create NZB's off the site containing some of the PAR files if one of the rar files is corrupt and download in something like news rover. They go through all the NS's and post them up. People also weed out the virus's and NZB's with missing files.

edit: Thats just an example, there are heaps of sites out there that provide these services.

There is no uploading if you set you torrent upload to 1.........ok there is a tiny incy wincy bit of uploading..but i manage to get thru my 20gig limit in first couple of days of the month with very minimal (less than 1gig) uploads..

I see 1.8Mb/sec, which is basically as fast as ADSL2+ is ever going to be when i am 900m from the exchange.

So there is no way using torrents is slower, or newsgroups/usenet is faster... If you have your net setup correctly, and the swarm has a good kb ratio available.

If the Usenet site isn't close by, or has a high load it could potentially be slower than a torrent anyway. Goes both ways.

I honestly have never had an issue torrenting with anything in 7 years.

I don't mind uploading either, i don't see that as a particular issue

Ye, i'd never pay - i mean you pay for the internet connection already!

The whole point of a torrent community i guess - and ye, must be private sites/trackers.

I download stuff that fast that i can literally go and have a shower, by the time i am done i've seen 3-4gig down.

I could suck down 50gig in a day easily if i tried. Probably 100gig

It is slow if there is no one to download from... thats what I was getting at. Its just a good feeling to not have to stuff around with crappy torrents and rely on people who dont upload :P... hence making it faster because its consistent. I should of been clearer.

I haven't had many problems with torrents and have got some pretty damn good speeds but the sites are now getting cracked down on and going legit. So unfortunatly you have to find some private sites or investigate into alternatives.

In the end you just use whatever works for you. No one has the exact same set up. News Subscriptions are working for me now because there is a wider variety of music.

Another good thing is there are different things available on news scripts then torrents and vise versa which is pretty cool if your a fiend like me... :)

p.s. dont be scared to PM me some of your sites bro :P

lolz actually it was a siterip of a particular BBW site which I could not find ANYWHERE on the net in ~2 years of searching.

It maxed out my 1.5mb connection, which was great - torrents either go really fast or really bloody sloooooow, just changed to utorrent on the main downloading pc hope that helps.

Nobi - Scratch : yeah I find newsgroups kind of confusing, I'm probably not going to stick with Usenext mainly because I've got what I want, but seriously guys it's fkn hard to find bbw porn of any quality either on torrents or rapidshit lol.

sif pay for usenet get a better isp imo, Internode FTW and i have never had slow speeds never.

But then with torrents if you use public trackers you more than likely going to get shit speeds.

The answer to your question OP is use some better software i recommend AltBinz has par2 integrated and can automatically repair and extract rar files

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
