    I'm NOT asking where i can download these. I'm just wondering what is the difference between peer to peer and newsgroup.

    Peer to peer is a free way to go about it aslong as you share. More often than not newsgroups you have to pay to get onto the sites that you'd normally get for free using bit torrents.

    Newsgroups can be alot faster however they are alot more complicated and to me most of the file compressions I had not heard of and I didn't fare well on this part so I went back to torrents.
