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

      my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast

      Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.

      I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?

      Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science

      Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
