    Is this still considered the best/fastest way to get 'files'? I'm getting sick of my torrent speeds now and I think TalkTalk is to blame. I wouldn't mind giving the whole newsgroups scene a go but I'm clueless.

    What is the best method(s)?

    yeah, binaries are spot on - just gotta pay around a tenner a month or something , depends who you sign up with.

    However, it's crazy speed :up:

    And am I correct in assuming it's not on the same track as torrents, so TalkTalk won't keep on sticking pins in my balloon? I read up on it all a while ago then realised my torrents were going at max speed :oops:

    So tenner a month to sign up, and that's it? You got links to what I'd use?

    Rapidshare, i swear by it.

    i pay for that also (about 15 quid for 3 months), it's also quite fast - but definately not as fast as newsgroups - although i can't really get everything that i'm after on them (at least so i think)

    long gone are the days stressing out at the lack of seeders :lol:

    I use Rapidshare or Netload. Pay a monthly subscription but is worth it. never used torrents for years.

    Pop a 40 and check your rollies - its Blyth Tyme!
    www.warez-bb.org with a rapidshare account and internet download manager is the best option for me. Well when they fix the search tool anyways.

    Astraweb have a great deal at the moment, 270 day retention and cheaper than rapidshare - then use newsbin to find all the stuff.
