rapidshare

Deffo newsgroups for me.I sometimes use rapidshare if someone has posted a link but never bothered with torrents and seeder ratios, whatever the hell they are

For bigger files it can only be newsgroups, for smaller files personally I only use rapidshare wherever possible as compared to say megaupload simply because I seem to get much better speeds from rapidshare so I use that on premium.

Personally I will never download from torrents or P2P programs like Kazaa or eMule again, policing issues and security problems and viruses aside for a moment if stuff didn't take ages to come down it was always a bitch where seeding was always a problem....can't tell you the amount of times in the past where I would download a file to 95 percent or more completion only for it to never complete. Insecure, unsafe and unreliable so now I simply use rapidshare premium and pay for newsgroups for the bigger files. The thing is at least my stuff comes down now and come down fast without relying on other people to share their internet bandwidth, which they never did by the way

Use torrents as long as you find a very good private site then the speeds are excellent and releases very quick.

I gotta go for newgroups here aswell. Torrents are too easy to track these days, I've even started using a VPN provider to encrypt my traffic that flows through my ISP.

Gotta hate progress :-)
