speed wise using rapidshare and newz groups for me were about the same speed , unless things have greatly improved i dont think ill be using NG`s , anything i ever want or needed for somebody always get, this is comming from a person who used to moan about rapidshare, when i was using the NG`s , but love em now.
its all down to personal choice lads at the end of the day, what mattersis u download what u want.
