    Im surprised Usenet doesn’t get mentioned more, except rare anime or shows Usenet has all the pros none of the headaches of torrents

      I have tried to get on this “Usenet” a few times but to no success. The software was ass, and the instructions for it were worse.

      Any handy guides, anyone??

        I used to be on usenet during the 90s-2000s. And it seemed easier?

        I tried it recently around the pandemic and it felt confusing for me! I used SABnzbd. I had to subscribe to two servers to get overlapping coverage. After a month I gave up on it.
