Blackcats - massive win.
I dont get it...Can you buy gears of war on steam? Im new to steam so im not sure how to tell what will and wont be available on it.
Anythingmadepublished by Microsoft will use its slightly-hetero Live for PC service which no one cares about.
Seeders?
Bah
Usenet all the way!!!!
Try it and you will be shocked on how fast it is, you don't need to have seeders. You can get a 14 day trial.
But after you have to pay. Why pay when you can get something for free?
Peace of mind.. no IP broadcast.. Long retention.. don't have to rely on seeders.. fast downloads.. Logically compartmentalized.
Torrents are useful from time to time, but the money I pay for usenet is WELL worth it. ABSOLUTELY wouldn't give it up unless I had to.
The "it's free, so it's better" argument doesn't hold up well here. I mean, you can pay money for a hamburger, or you can go out behind McDonalds, root through the dumpster, and find FREE FOOD!
Couldn't put that better myself.
Usenet is just wonderful, i used UseNeXT's 14 day trial and purchased it the next day the trial ran out.
and also you get some great Porn out of Usenet....but thats for another topic
If its made by Valve or a company associated with Valve will on steam. Anything made by Microsoft or someone affiliated with Microsoft will most likely be on Live.I dont get it...Can you buy gears of war on steam? Im new to steam so im not sure how to tell what will and wont be available on it.

Why so many leechers for such an old game?
Game came out yesterday.
Anyway, I'm getting it off of usenet right now. I realised how awesome my free ISP usenet is, turns out I have no bandwidth limits. Hell I'd pay more for the usenet alone than what I'm paying for internet right now if I had to buy usenet alone.
Getting Slackware I see. I'm putting openSUSE on my linux box as soon as i get my new HD (500GB FTW).
On topic, does usenet use all you internet speed up(I mean I have 512KB, but I only download at 60KB would it do 512KB)

Hmmmm usenet eh? my friend loves it, ive tried to look into it but never really figured out how it works. Anybody have any good advice for me if I want to start using it?
Anybody reccomend anything other than UseNeXT?
Whats the average monthly price I should expect to pay?
So, with UseNeXT, is it $12 a month to download 10 Gigs a month? that seems a little strange, i think im reading that wrong

so yeah, any advice is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Meh. When you say you have 512KB do you mean that your ISP says 512? Because they often refer to the speeds in Kilobits. For example, 1.5Mb/s would be about 180KB/s. Get it? KB=8Kb, MB=8Mb
I refrain from paying for Usenet. It's like paying for Warez. That's unethical. Even if it's just a small amount. Better use torrents for free, than paying someone as morally corrupt as UseNeXt. There's no difference to the pressed russian DVDs you can buy at flea markets there, IMHO. These people are profiting from what they do without giving anything back.
Piracy should be free!

Usenet gets the win. But regardless of what you use to download your warez, you're still paying for it. Most usenet providers charge you a monthly or bandwidth transfer fee. Most (read: all) ISP's charge you a monthly fee as well. Paying for usenet access to download warez from usenet is pretty much the same as paying for internet access to download warez using torrents. I don't pay for usenet access separately now as it's included with my ISP but back when I did pay for a couple years ago, being the download fiend I was then and am now, it was worth the $15 a month for unlimited downloads and not having to deal with the few hassles of torrenting or P2P. The only cases in which this could be disputed are those in which your internet access is free. In that case, you could torrent and your warez would technically be free. Otherwise, we all pay for the warez we download.
Side note: Why the hell is Firefox telling me I need to capitalize "internet?" When the hell did the internets get a capital letter?
I beg to differ. UseNext and other alt.binaries.* providers specifically advertise their service as a plattform for downloading warez. Just look at their websites, where they advertise astronomical numbers for MP3s, Videos, Games and Apps being available through their servers. My ISP doesn't do that. I use my internet access for a lot of things, piracy is just the icing on the cake. And, infact, I have unlimited Usenet access to discussion groups via my ISP, with alt.binaries.* being the exception.Hypocrite. [...]
