Usenet really is great for piracy, I'm so happy that I found out about it like a decade ago. So much better than torrents.

    But why? I've been using torrents with ease for a very long time.

    Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don't need a VPN, and it's more reliable than anything but great private trackers.

    I don't need a VPN. I only use a single private tracker. All my shits automated and I pay nothing.

    Also I only have 500Mbps which downloads pretty well anything I watch in a few minutes so speed isn't really noticeable to me.

    Once you set it up, it's automatic. The *arr tools were built with usenet in mind, Jackett and the like are just wrappers, also Usenet is a lot faster and flies under the "piracy radar" unlike torrents.

    Yeah but I don't use the arr tools, I use the other ones which do the same deal but for torrents.

    Private trackers tend to fly under the radar to a degree too. I'm not sure how Usenet does since it's still a popular method and seems just like a private tracker without sharing your IP with your peers but you pay for it

    Don't you have to pay for that I think?

    Yeah, but it's worth it. $8/month for automated downloading of pretty much every TV show and most movies, usually within a few days of the official release (if you want release quality). Also it maxes out your downstream bandwidth instantly, unlike torrents. I have a gig pipe and the most I've ever seen on a well seeded torrent was about 50-60% of my downstream bandwidth.
