encryption

ISP throttle P2P traffic because a large portion of users use it. But with usenet, its only a small amount of users compared to P2P users. As far as I know, I've never seen an ISP throttle newsgroup traffic and honestly, I think SSL is a bit useless atm.

only use/pay for SSL if your ISP throttles NNTP traffic or restricts standard usenet ports. Any other reason and you are throwing money away tbh.

if you are afraid of mpaa letters just do not post. the mpaa does no have a way to monitor what is sent between you and usenet company.

they can't see through encryption it would take them 2 long to decrypt a 256bit .
Also your isp can't see wot your downloading either
