A decent FTP (you have to know people to get on them) can cost you upto £100 a month depending on your connection. Yes they get stuff 0 day but as stated above newsgroups are your best option. _________________
purchases are done so on the understanding I own the original. If not it will be destroyed in 24 hours.

My FTP gets releases within seconds of being released.
And its not £100 a month at all
Cheaper then newsgroups for sure _________________ any backups supplied should be destroyed within 24 hrs

I bet your FTP has all the new releases but how long to they stay there? and I bet it doesn't have the massive choice offered by usenet and torrents.
It has a 10TB archive...Not bad...not as big as the newsgroups.
But its much more secure then torrents/newsgroups..
As I don't let random people join or advertise access like the other FTP sellers do. _________________ any backups supplied should be destroyed within 24 hrs

it's all encrypted anyway
You'd need the password to read the logs
And a password to get into the directory in the first place

There is no point in using paid for FTP - most releases hit newsgroups in a matter of mins not hours.
Check the time when somthing was pre'd and then check the time it was posted to newsgroups.
Only advantage I would say with FTP is its sorted but then again with newgroups you have loads of none scene release stuff where you fine some real gems
Most paid for FTP's are shite anyway and have poor storage and don't carry all group releases.
