    Usenet really is great for piracy, I’m so happy that I found out about it like a decade ago. So much better than torrents.

        Yeah, but it’s worth it. $8/month for automated downloading of pretty much every TV show and most movies, usually within a few days of the official release (if you want release quality). Also it maxes out your downstream bandwidth instantly, unlike torrents. I have a gig pipe and the most I’ve ever seen on a well seeded torrent was about 50-60% of my downstream bandwidth.

      But why? I’ve been using torrents with ease for a very long time.

        Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don’t need a VPN, and it’s more reliable than anything but great private trackers.

          I don’t need a VPN. I only use a single private tracker. All my shits automated and I pay nothing.

          Also I only have 500Mbps which downloads pretty well anything I watch in a few minutes so speed isn’t really noticeable to me.

        Once you set it up, it’s automatic. The *arr tools were built with usenet in mind, Jackett and the like are just wrappers, also Usenet is a lot faster and flies under the “piracy radar” unlike torrents.
