Eh?

Upstream =/= downstream.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I love what torrents represent. The vast majority of people only want to share as long as it's mutually beneficial. Hooray for capitalism.

not everyone uses torrents for copyright violation. Take me. I only use it for downloading mods or distros.

It's basically like torrents, but from servers, and you don't have to upload.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

RS limits you to 80 GB a month, which are used up really quickly if you DL movies. On the more expensive usenet accounts you get unlimited downloads and SSL encryption. On usenet you also tend to get more rare files. Searching usenet though newzleech is also considerably faster and easier than searching though the various RS forums and blogs

Doesn't matter for me, I only get 95GB download limit from my ISP.

yeah, Usenet has a lot more files. The main difference is High Quality movies/music. Usenet will have almost everything that has been released on Blu-ray/HDDVD in 1080p, and every album I've searched for can be found in .flac. Also, no download limit.

These are the main reasons I'll be getting it soon

I can't justify the price of UseNet over Rapidshare at the minute because what I want, 95% of the time I'll be able to get. But anyway, wow at that screenshot - 1000GB!

idk what youre talking about, rapidshare doesnt have an 80GB limit per month. There is a 10 gig daily limit, but if you dont use all 10 gigs you can save them up, like rollover minutes

I wont be downloading 'that' much for any limits to effect me but the choice of what's available is something that does.

What's the price difference?

Is giganews just like a board where you can search for things to download using the usernet network?

I find that if I cap my upload at 12kb/s I get optimum bandwidth for download.

Any higher upload and my download suffers.
