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

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
