I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
I’ve personally found that usenet isn’t that good unless you’re trying to grab things immediately. I find trying to grab older stuff really hit or miss, mostly miss.
If you have cabal and able to maintain ratio (yeah BTN is ratio less) you don’t need Usenet
But thats such a small proportion of people. Usenet is what I recommend to entry level people who want top tier access but aren’t will to spend time/effort/networking but will spend money m
I’d like to know this as well. Haven’t used Usenet for over 10 years. PTP, BTN, and Red are all I need. Seed box and Plex. I’m into indie/obscure films also, so what would Usenet offer that they don’t?
The download speed on any popular release will max out even the fastest connections. I assume the retention for less popular content is a lot better on trackers, but I don’t have enough experience with usenet to say that for sure.
Torrents can be encrypted as well, and there isn’t a need for a VPN unless you use public trackers, which I don’t recommend.
What is the monthly fee for Usenet? I’m more in favor of decentralized systems with the use of seedboxes to speed up distribution, but I’m not against usenet either.

If you really want to build an awesome Plex/Jellyfin library, start using Usenet instead of torrents.

Most indexers have a request form for content. Ive used the one on NZBGeek numeous times and gotten what I wanted within a day or two.
Use two providers on different networks. They can fill in the gaps for each other.
Right, get a block account with another provider on a different backbone and you should be good to go!
Please tell me what I can get on usenet that isn’t on PTP, BTN, or RED.
I would bet that 99/100 releases are uploaded to private trackers before usenet.

You should look into Karagarga
It isn’t availability that makes me prefer Usenet, but its speed and security features.

What features?
Usenet connections can be encrypted. No need for a VPN or any other obfuscation.
Torrents can be encrypted as well, and there isn’t a need for a VPN unless you use public trackers, which I don’t recommend.

About 5 bucks a month or a little less if you pay by the year.
Idk man, Usenet was solid for me for years but now everything is DMCAd in a flash.
Huh, a couple years ago everything was being DMCAd haven’t come accross that issue in awhile, at least me personally.
Interesting. I guess I’ve just been lucky enough to find all the content I look for.
what is usenet just a DDL site?
Usenet isn’t a site, it’s a network. Wiki it, you’ll need a provider for it but most of them are quite affordable.
Affordable? I’m not here to pay people for things, that’s for sure 😅
Do as though wilt! That said, a Usenet service is like $10 a month, and a lot of them will let you purchase a month at a time.
