NNTP has been rocking away for more years than torrents and was unfortunately much better for the lack of exposure (really "today possible to attach binaries" :D - been 25+ years at least).Quote:
Usenet technique
... Today it's possible to attach binary files to the article and it can be downloaded by other users.
However today NZB files and binary download clients so it has fallen into DMCA capture funland :(
Torrents against NNTP (usenet)?..... I am a firm download fan of NNTP without the worry of uploads speeds and leeching clients. Post take downs and the endless <1Mb apps/films (spam/virus) and/or passworded crap (where they don` even change the names in the nfo to match :S) is taking a toll :(
Sad times... but the torrents have muppets too
