I'm an oldskool pirate. And let me tell you, the "old ways" ain't dead. It is perfectly possible to get anything you need without spending money on people trying to make some kind of buisness out of warez (RS, MU, ....).

1. Torrents are free yes. But public trackers sucks, too many leechers. Private ones you need to keep a gud ratio thus you need to upload and not only leech. Uploading wastes your bandwidth thus in turn wastes your money. In addition to that if you use seedbox, then you are spending money too.

2. I don't know how much speed you get frm ur ISP usenet servers... but those free usenet servers are usually shyt and with very low retention. Giganews and Astraweb are the best with quality speed and high retention... and both requires u spending. Giganews - $25, Astraweb around $11 i think.

3. RS/MU/....., also offers free, but if you want quality, u need to spend around $9-$10/mo on premium.

4. FTP is free.... depends on what type of FTP. The ones that are updated frequently and offers atleast 10mbit to each user won't be free and these are private ones. Pub ftps are free and they are also..... shyt

What Im trying saying is.... have tried all methods possibly and I have come to the conclusion that...

Free = shyt

Thanx
