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

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By R33_Guy · Posted

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
