Re: [Rant] Torrents? ..Who needs them..
I disagree. HDBits has a far better collection of 720p and 1080p content than Usenet does. Usenet might have most of that content as the 1080i or 1080p raws, but the HDBits community themselves are the ones that re-encode them down to DVD5 and DVD9 sizes at 720p and 1080p. They're fanatical about quality, and scoff at the scene encodes as being shoddy. And their content is only available on the site, since it's private. |

Most of the people can't get in since it is private and it is hard to get invites.
You also have to keep a good ratio of at least 1:1.
With current internet connection of 10:1 download to upload ratio, it becomes almost impossible to maintain a good standing.
Now add throttling to that and it all goes to bell hell.
Both protocols are good if you use them.  |
