Hello,

I tried in the past to wrap my head around usenet, and I bought access to some news downloader (iirc it was called that way not sure, but it was Eweka) and tried using it, the problem was that every download I tried to get was dead on arrival (link being dead, failing to verify file integrity) yet so many people on piracy forums swear by Usenet and claim that for ~$60 a year they get a much more superior experience than torrents, and yet, I currently torrent everything with no issues at all.

The reason for trying Usenet that when attempting to search some less popular TV shows/movies, I could not always find it in the quality I wanted to see, and therefore decided to give it a try.

Any suggestions?

More content and also much longer retention - many providers retain files for 4000+ days (11 years).

It doesn’t matter if that one guy in Macedonia is still seeding, if it’s on a server with good retention, you’ll get it immediately and at very fast, non-Macedonian speeds.
