Why Usenet is Your Better Download Solution

How many times has this happened to you? You’ve been hovering over your favorite peer-to-peer file sharing software for hours, waiting for the movie you want to start downloading. Inch by inch, hour after hour, you waited until you reached the top of the queue. Finally, it’s your turn. Your P2P software connects, and ... mysteriously disconnects. No file for you, buddy; you have to start all over again.

When peer-to-peer began, first with Napster, and later with Kazaa and Morpheus, it was going to revolutionize the way people shared files. Many years and several high-profile lawsuits later, people are turning back to a file-sharing system that’s been around since they were born: Usenet.

  • With Usenet, there’s never any waiting to download. Find the file you want, and download it when you want.
  • Unlike Usenet, P2P is full of unpleasant surprises. Download sources disappear; downloads stall and abort for no reason. And sometimes the file you get isn’t the one you expected.
  • Usenet lets you take full advantage of your high-speed connection. With P2P, you can only download as fast as someone else can upload.

And nobody understands these advantages better than Usenet Monster. We’ve invested in a rock-solid Usenet service geared to the needs of hardcore file collectors, because we know Usenet is the smart alternative to P2P, no matter what you’re looking for:

  • Movies: Usenet has a great selection of movie content you can download when you want, without having to wait in a P2P software queue. And Usenet Monster’s high-speed servers let you download at your full bandwidth capacity; with P2P, someone else decides how fast you can download.
  • Music: Stock your MP3 player with the Internet’s broadest selection of music. Trance, classic rock, ambient, hip-hop, jazz, classical, comedy, world beat – if you’re listening to it, you can hear it from Usenet.
  • Adult Content: If you’re in the mood for something sexy, Usenet is a far better resource than P2P. You’ll find thousands of sensibly organized newsgroups, full of erotic images and movies for every interest. Real files, not fakes or viruses.

Usenet Monster – The Serious Source

The best way to explore Usenet is with a dedicated provider like Usenet Monster. We take Usenet seriously – that’s why we carry over 27,000 of the most popular high-traffic newsgroups, bringing you over 1,024 gigabytes of new data each and every day. We retain files much longer than a typical ISP, so you’ll find more files to download. And Usenet Monster’s expert technical support is fast and friendly. With P2P software, you’re on your own.

We take your privacy seriously, too. Usenet Monster doesn’t retain information of what you download. And unlike P2P, you don’t have to share your files just to download.

How much does it cost? You’d be surprised at how much you can get for so little. Five gigabytes of data transfer – enough for six hours of movie content, 50,000 high-resolution pictures, or several hundred MP3 files – costs only $2.95 per month. And if you don’t use all your gigs in a month, roll over the unused portion to the next month.

So if you’re ready to stop dawdling and start downloading, sign up for Usenet Monster today. Signup takes just a few minutes, and we offer a money-back guarantee.
