SomeBoyoWhat usenet server do you use?
NixWhat exactly is the appeal of Usenet when almost everything is available through torrents for free? I also never really understood trusting giving out your payment information.
Do people use Usenet as forums besides the ability to share files?
I prefer it since I can max out my connection so it is much faster. I can download a 10GB movie in a matter of minutes. Also much easier to integrate with sonarr and radarr imo. And you don’t have the hassle of having to need a good download/upload ratio.
I didn’t realize Usenet was so fast compared to a torrent with many seeders. What makes Usenet so much faster?
AphoticDevIt’s a direct download, with no speed throttling, and no searching for peers. Depending on how busy the server is and if you configure your download client right, you can max out your internet connection. It’s basically like downloading a finished torrent from a seedbox.
