No more btjunkie :-(

I came into this thread fully expecting the forum member btjunkie to be dead. Then reading the op I briefly believed it was some sort of loving eulogy about turning off his life support before my brain actually registered what I was reading. :mad:

Should point out that I'm not actually mad despite what the emoticon suggests, obviously its a good thing no one has died and its just some retro pirating service going down the toilet instead.

Edit - it would seem there isn't even a member called btjunkie... Who the hell am I thinking of then?

Because installing an NZB client and inputting your newsgroup details is so much more technical than installing uTorrent and sorting out the port forwarding right?

call me when newsgroups are:

1. free
2. as easy to use as clicking a .torrent file
3. as widely used as bittorrent is

Call me when you have sickbeard/Couchpotato/newznab/Headphones available for torrents. Nope.jpg, with newznab it's literally one click download and with sickbeard you can add tv shows that are downloaded automatically. Same with couchpotato which is for films and headphones which is for music.
Just to let you know, I am a private tracker user with access to one of the most exclusive ones in the world. So don't tell me I don't use torrents.
 
newsgroups still aren't free.

why pay money to pirate stuff when you could pay a little more for a legal service in most cases?

1) Private trackers are not free unless you get an invite, invitations are usually worth around £20 for some
2) You get faster speeds and less fakes
3) Your isp can't touch you or anyone else

Netflix has got the right idea. Why pirate stuff when Netflix is cheap, easy and legal?

I think it requires streaming, which is not always great due to some ISPs putting caps on daytime transfer amounts.
 
R.I.B (rest in bits) :(

:( shame really, ive noticed in the past couple of weeks a few torrent sites i use quite regularly are being shut down...
 
What ***** me off is how megaupload etc. are targeted for making millions from piracy and newsgroups are doing exactly the same albeit with more legal files alongside as well.
 
Can' be having the PQ with Netflix. I can't for the life of me see how people say it's HD. It's nowhere near a good x264 rip.

Give me a service with the latest films, true HD quality and surround sound at a decent price and I will happily give up newsgroups.
