    Easily traceable too, not the contents, but anyone in 10 seconds can check where he is connecting to, whois that IP, and take actions.

    I do use usenet (astraweb in fact), but my campus has a 3GB daily bandwidth limit. Thus, DC++ is attractive since transfers over LAN circumvent the limit.
    that sucks, but a hub, especially a new one, isn't going to have nearly as much data as usenet, and you would still have to get the new stuff from somewhere

    Yeah, but usenet isn't by definition illegal. If you can't say the contents are copyrighted then there's no wrongdoing.
