    Retention is pretty much the biggest one. Trying to download an obscure TV show from 12 years ago? Good luck.

    That torrent with one seed in the Czech Republic might take six months to download, but I’ll get there. Maybe.

      100%, as well as DMCA take down requests, and needing to often pay for indexer and provider.

      That being said I still think it’s far superior to torrents, though I do maintain a good ratio on a large private tracker for those odds and ends I can’t get on Usenet.
