| I agree with Usenet. With private FTP you have to logi to the FTPs to see whats on there, and your connection speeds depends on what internet connection the hosting FTP server is sitting behind. I can max out my connection on multiple usenet providers. |

It is then raced to other ftps within seconds.
Plus, it's free. And any decent ftp is atleast multiple Gb/s so you always max out.

LinkTech: Most ftp sites are on a 100 Mbps + network, so if you can max that out then you should be hosting a ftp site yourself. =) I have 25 meg down and 5 meg upload and max out my downloads all time on a ftp site. |

anything found on newsgroups or torrents can easily found on the web using free hosting sites like rapidshare or megaupload. |

Just remember that most of the stuff on free file hosting sites are used for websites,blogs and what not....alot of passwords and changed file names.
Better off finding the stuff you need through blogs and get the detailed release info scene or p2p and quality as well as password than just useing free file hosts like a p2p program. |

I do agree with ya. Passwords and file name changes are the norm for this method. However, if you are a casual warez person then it's probably not a big deal. |
