Hi

I'm just wondering if there is any program that is like usenet, but work in a true client to client manner. For example you wouldn't need to pay for a usenet server, as the program automatically finds a node for you.

If there isn't one, is there anyway we could encourage the opensource community to consider one?

Thanks! :)

Oh... and i made a halfbakery idea on it :)

Then how is usenet even involved?
What you're asking for is any regular, shitty p2p program.

Lmao, why? Because your such a cheapskate you don't want to pay for a Usenet account?

Just carry on using torrent or whatever it is you use.
