If you want to pay to improve your piracy experience, Usenet is the way to go. For about $20 a month you can get unlimited downloads of whatever, as fast as your home connection can handle, non-peer-to-peer. It's not as general a solution as VPN, but it's kind of amazing to me that Usenet doesn't get more attention, at least if VPNs are now starting to.
- tomjen3 14y agoMegashares is half that. Just saying. And excellent file search engines exist for all those sites (www.filestube.com).
- rblatz 14y agoI know Astraweb and others charge less. I agree, it's significantly cheaper and easier to use Usenet. Plus I believe it to be more legal, since you aren't actually sharing copywrited material. Just downloading it, and I don't believe anyone has been sued for just downloading.
- jaredsohn 14y ago> it's kind of amazing to me that Usenet doesn't get more attention Perhaps because the saying "the first rule of Usenet is that you don't talk about Usenet" has helped prevent it from going viral.
