I've never tried usenet. I just managed to get uTorrent up and running a little while back. Explain in simple terms what it is and don't give me a Wiki reference.

[keasy]

Well...


Before the internets was newsgroups...
you subscribe to particular server and it would send you emails with stuff related to what you needed.
Newsgroups still run more popular for warez than ever.
The old newsgroup systems couldn't handle very large files. so people would brerak the files down in to rars, and pars, known as alt.bin's.
 Small easy to transfer files.
They would get reassembled at the receivers end.
These days things like Grabbit will do all the tech stuff for ya.
It lets ya search for newsgroups and grab the alt.bins and put's them together for you.
You have to subscribe to a usenet provider to be able to do it all.

The commonly percieved order of distributed scene materials is...

FTP
Newsgroups
p2p Torrents
p2p limewire etc...


That's it simply and I may not even be right.

Woowoo - I have ascended to the lofty level of torrents! I am no longer just a menial Limewire user.

I feel so validated.

I'll stick wif the torrents for now. I only have 15Gb dl available a month anyway so it keeps me sorts straight lol.

[tricksterdude]

I just signed up for a months access. At £4.50 a month for unlimited its a steal.

[Wooster]

I'm going to sign up as well, it's a great deal..

That's the first I've used Newsgroups myself and it's stunningly quick..
