Yes that's right, but the BT posts are spam anyway.

I got on a promotion on the past black friday where I pay 4€ per month, maximum bandwidth and around 800 days of retention. It's the price of a pack of cigarettes.

Yup, and usenet just keeps geting better. BT used to have the argument that you could find older stuff that had been lost from Usenet due to retention, but nothing is deleted from Usenet anymore, the retention is increased by 1 day per day. BT is slowly losing its 2 advantages (one being the rare stuff, the other being the cost [which if you use a seedbox is cancelled out!]).
