It seems that everyone talks about Bit Torrent, but the BEST way to get files is NEWSGROUPS...hands down. I am using my free ISP one and STILL get great speeds...they are using Giganews now.....they switched from AT&T...So I can get even really OLD releases with my newsgroups.

And movies on there don't take any time to get. And you don't have to seed anything back like on private Bit Torrent sites.

i didn't mention Usenet in my article because any time i do, long time Usenet users who despise the the recent migration of P2P users to Usenet complain in PMs. Same happens on all sites, I've seen articles from sites like Slyck on Digg.com gathering comments from people saying "just please STFU about Usenet OK?" - they blame these sites for destroying everything by finding a way to make it popular amongst critical mass and hence, making it a notable target.

In a way, I understand their concern as any illusiuon that Usenet providers (or userS) are immune to legal action... is false

TO usenet elites
Usenet went above ground years ago 0-o,really wake up and get use 0-o

There is also warez. Not sure how much longer that will last. File hosting sites may get hit eventually with new lawsuits stipulating that they become more accountable for what is hosted besides simply responding to reporters. The RIAA needs to finish digesting bittorrent first. Nobody I know uses bittorrent anymore anyway. They were using it for a few years and were able to see the warning signs. It's surprising to me how many people are just discovering bittorrent. I find it funny when I read posts from people who have received letters from their ISP's about their downloading habits asking, "Do you think I should be concerned? I just downloaded the new Chili Peppers" :-P

hey i have a question how do you use bittorrent is there a forum and is there a way to get pre release movies ?

There's also IRC...

The use of P2P is never going to dive. Its just a fact.
