Re: [Rant] Torrents? ..Who needs them..

I know people out there will argue that you have to pay for access to a Usenet service with decent retention -- but it's honestly not that expensive. You can go with Astraweb for just over $13 a month unlimited access.
Those who make only casual use of torrents do not want to pay extra for Usenet however modest the cost. Those who are heavy torrent users can spend as much for Usenet bandwidth as they pay their ISP for Internet access each month.

Considering the heartache around torrents, how plagued they are with fake files/viruses and adware/banners associated with their indexing websites -- forget it.
I am a fairly heavy user of BT yet I have never gotten a fake file or virus nor do I have problems with ads on indexing websites, public and private. (Maybe they have ads and I simply do not see them because of AdBlockPlus.)

Perhaps we're looking for different things or in different places.
Apparently.
