do you use Usenet (newsgroups)?

[eelw]

Yes, cheap ripoff, but I would like to compare the number of P2P/BT users to Usenet users.

edit

added 2nd poll

Haven't you heard man? Usenet has been dead for years now; there's absolutely no reason why you'd want to get on it. Like the Fight Club of the olde days, its time has passed.

You're not kidding. I can't find anything on there. Usenet/newsgrouns/whatever you want to call them = waste of time...torrents > *

First rule of usenet....you never TALK about usenet

 

[SearchMaster]

P2P is the only way to go. Everything else is just nothing. Wait, is there anything else?

 

[everman]

Doesn't exist.

Usenet sucks. No one should use it.

BT & P2P sucks. NGs 4ever!

BT is slow, speed fluctuates. I like the constant DL speed (~200kb/s) I get from my ISP's newsgroup service.

 

[Fenixgoon]
