Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before but I’m looking at trying Usenet instead of torrents.

I’ve done some Googling and honestly, it’s a little overwhelming knowing what Usenet provider to use, where to get quality indexers and which download client would be the best.

If anyone has any resources or advice to help me sail the Usenet seas I would be eternally grateful!

    Usenet is old and centralized so a lot easier to shut down and is payed because you pay for server retention and access.

      Usenet is considered decentralized, it is made up of many independent servers that talk to each other. take one down, and the rest continue on without problems.
