Seriously, it's time to stop putting up with inconsistent speed/files and pay $15 a month for unlimited downloads at your full bandwidth.

:)

Just saying, I've freed myself from torrents, best $15 a month I've EVER spent. If anyone is interested in getting set up with a usenet service, let me know I got all the info and the best providers.

As long as it's encrypted, what with this ACTA stuff getting shoved down everyone's throat, can't be too careful.

With eastlink anyways, they do deep packet scanning, so its hard not to get a filter added to your acct to slow things to a crawl with torrents.

the only way to go if you do alot of it is to pay per month for a service that offers a vpn.

I use torrents for random old files & music. Usenet for everything else.

My usenet service is very secure, using 20 ssl connections via udp, there really is no way to protect ur torrents from being sniffed aside from vpn with slow hops and restricted net access.

15 dollars a month, anyone who complains about it being too much are stupid, you get hundreds of thoudands of dollars of software and media for free and u wanna complain about a measly 15 a month for premium, secure service?

torrents take anywhere from 8 hours to 2 days for a good sized file.
usenet takes an hour.

that plus you don't have to worry about upload ratio's justifies the $15/month for me.

Consistency is the big seller for me. With torrents, it can take upwards of 4 hours to get up to its max speed. Its instant with usenet, as soon as you start downloading, you're downloading @ 15mbps (extreme 15) until the file is done, with no stalled downloads.

New pc game out?
Get it in an hour.

Movie?
5-10 mins

Get my drift?

Of course I'm not advocating piracy in any way, just explaining the potential application of such a service

If you have a modded console then this service is invaluable, get all the games before they're even out at lightning fast speeds

Until Eastlink nerfs your connection for "excessive usage"...

That's where the ssl over udp comes into play. As far as flagging over usage, I've been an avid usenet user for years, never had a throttling problem or any guff from eastlink. With any isp, your eula specifically covers usenet usage as well, and at the moment eastlinks network is pretty much wide open.
