I just 3 threads on WJ similar to your topic today. You should have stick around in those threads <_<
I'm a long time usenet user, if you care to see my ratings they're below
pre-time
1. Private FTP
2. Private Trackers
3. Usenet / Public Trackers
4. HTTP (filehosts)
sometimes, #2 and #3 switch.
For me, usenet is the most convenient because it has a lot files available for over 700 days and I can download at my full speed securely over 20 SSL connections without having to worry about seeding back cuz I hate seeding back with my 10 times slower upload speed compared to the download speed.
There is no lifetime account that's quality. I don't think there is one. If there is, the quality must have be dead long ago lolz.
There are $11/month plans which serve you great
PS: for contents, depends on the sites you're downloading from. There are sites which have 700+ Full Bluray Discs etc which is good imo.
