And the fact that I downloaded every DS rom in about 5 hours... yes 20gigs in 5 hours. Usenet is where all warez starts from. All pirated movies, all pirated software, it all gets released on usenet first, then slowly distributes to torrents and limewire, etc. On usenet i've gotten games weeks before they were released in stores. Perfect DVD versions of movies before they were even in theaters. DVD extras and all. Usenet is the shit. Why I love it the most? I don't have to share files with others, and it maxes my connection out. I download at a cool 1,200KBytes/second. Had I a faster connection, it would meet that speed as well no doubt. You're paying for quality.
With newzbin you're pretty much guaranteed quality. All the files on there are near tested and if there's something that doesn't work, it's flagged, if it's not what it says it is, it's flagged, and it's near impossible to get a virus from anything on there, because the community is so closely monitored. If my wife and I decide there's a good movie we want to watch, I can download a nice quality Divx version of it in about 15 minutes, and we'll be watching it in no time. Or I can download the full DVD in about 45 minutes on average. What other service can you do this with?
They have every HDDVD and BluRay disk movie on Usenet as well. I download HDDVDs all the time for my HDTV, and they look sweet as fuck.
Anyway, moral of the story, Paying for Usenet saves me assloads of time, and I get quality. Well worth it IMO.
