Torrents seem to have the best file availability, and then DDL sites, and then Usenet, which is why I don't get Usenet very often. Looking for a new main strategy though, and I really don't trust plain torrents, even with Peerblock.Torrents seem to have the best file availability, and then DDL sites, and then Usenet, which is why I don't get Usenet very often. [...] don't trust plain torrents, even with Peerblock.''"</big></big>I have no idea how safe most proxies are, but I've considered just using free proxies with DDL sites to avoid the wait time, but the speed is still slow, and I wouldn't get premium because there are too many different hosting sites.''"</big></big>== the best selection and download speed comes with the highest risk ==It is logical that the industry employed individuals out to track down and identify copyright violators will focus primarily on the most popular medium. Since public bittorrents offer the most material, including movies, and commercial software, it is both logical and confirmed that bittorrents are the most heavily policed. Another factor is that due to the very nature of the technology, it is very easy to identify those seeding torrents by IP address with little effort or technical knowledge. Usenet (newsgroups) make it nearly impossible to identify individuals downloading. Newsgroup users are at little risk. However, newsgroup usage is more technical, and due to its age and complexity, popularity is in decline and therefore the selection of material for download is also far more limited.== ethics and culture ==The corporate fat cats in the filthy rich greedy industry going after kids and poor folks with insufficient income to afford enrichment in culture, literature, and music - or a bunch of pirates trying to save a buck by exploiting technology to steal from artists, musicians, and software engineers who rightfully deserve compensation for what they have to offer?Shouldn't cultural enrichment be available to all of mankind?Shouldn't software developers working day and night be compensated for their hard work?Isn't Lady GaGa already rich enough?Can the average middle class family really afford to buy every song and movie they want to enjoy?Is it fair the rich get to enjoy more cultural enrichment than the poor?Who is going to distribute music and movies on a voluntary basis if there is no chance to profit?Who is going to pay the guy holding the boom mic if no one is paying to watch the movie?One has to consider both sides, and all things related as the ethics, class division, and overall impact on the cultural enrichment and fulfillment of mankind is a bottomless well of pondering and consideration, having two distinct sides with valid points.
