    not trying to sound arsey (but that's how its going to come out) this topic has been done so many times.

    Usenet is beneficial cause you don't have to fcuk around waiting to get a decent seed and also you don't have to fcuk around dealing with seeding / leeching ratios. You get rock solid speeds pretty much all the time.

    You do have to pay for it though and also its a bit harder to set up than torrenting, but once things are set up its very easy to use.

    Search for articles by Lifehacker, they've got a whole bunch of info about it.
