I pay $6 or $7/mo for Ultra.CC and it's 1TB storage with 4TB monthly bandwidth. I never exceed the bandwidth, but the 1TB allows you to seed for quite some time. I set rules to keep stuff until a minimum 10:1 seed ratio, and some rare stuff for 50:1. Some stuff is so minimal/small, it's there indefinitely.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, a usenet subscription costs less and you get everything you want without even having to seed anything.
You keep your ratio when you stop paying for the seedbox, can you also keep your usenet access?
It's a good point, but you also don't keep your ratio, if you stop seeding and only leech, eventually your ratio gets bad again. You just changed to prepaid volume instead of subscription :D
But yeah, you also don't need your usenet access forever. It's only for rarely found stuff, remember? You just accumulate those over some time, then pay for a month to get it all, then cancel again. Main tool is public torrents.
I was just thinking, of "a bunch of money" is a lot more than $6. Pulling up Usenet plans range from $4-8month for basic stuff. I've never used it. I don't know enough about it. To each their own I guess.
