    I don't care about the torrent community's concept of fairness or entitlement. I just want to download, which is why I prefer Usenet.

    Wrong, truly private (ie, no invites, just a completely closed community) is how you get the best torrent speeds. None of the sites I know of like this have ever cared about ratios.

    Also, I'm pretty sure Usenet speeds are superior in every way.

    Didn't intend to turn this into a vs. debate. I just find it funny that people dealt with 1:1 ratios on ftps in the 90s, and now with exponentially faster connections people deal with it on a bandwidth aggregation protocol. It just boggles my mind.

    As an aside, this just reinforces my opinion that torrents are a poor medium for the downloader (although quite awesome for the providers).
