newsgroups break their files into pieces, many times a piece is missing. its very disorganized and disfunctional.
irc is ok but the user interface for getting files is very archaic. IRC has more promise than newsgroups since the files are not broken up.
IRC and Newsgroups are largely the domain of hardcore internet geeks, its not user friendly enough for the average user. Some Newsgroup clients make the interface much more simple but still the problem of missing file pieces remains.
