But Is Rare As Your Only Downloading The File, When Your Torrenting Your Also Apart Of The Distribution Which Allows Them To Come After You As A Distributor / Uploader.

Nice, thanks for sharing ^^

Cyber,

I would be curious if you are using an automated (SAB/Sick/Couchpotato) system. I've yet to find a so called "private" Usenet NZB site that never has a passcoded file. If you know what you are doing, (VPN that keeps no logs) you should not have to worry about torrent lawsuits.

Even if people jump ship it won't stop the trolls from going after the Usenet. It's finally been discovered.

That's the thing, with usenet there's no need for VPN. This site isn't even "private" and you won't see a password in any post. Also, like was said before, the only times that I can't find on usenet and have to use torrents you end up with no seeders.

I use only SAB, my main source for downloading is actually from FST via an RSS feed.

Then I use search indexers / then if all else fails the private sites. That being said I rarely have any issues. I have 20gig of Newsgroups from my ISP, I have a block account with an EU provider & I also have the free hitnews trial. With this setup I rarely miss anything or have issues. So the only thing that cost me a little extra was the block account which was $10 on special for like 200 gb, no expiry. How much are you paying for your private VPN access per month?

I have an USP setup similar to yours. I rarely have issues. My VPN is €15 every three months. A VPN is useful for more than just torrents. I would never trust a public or hotel wifi to do banking for example. I think we are in agreement on the other issues.

Correct, however I run a ssh server at home for that, portable Firefox with ssh and dns passes though the ssh as well meaning no history, great when at work for remote tunnelling, content blocking etc.

I guess Usenet was under the radar for so long that uploaders became rare, while torrent sites mushroomed in size. For example, look at a movie group and see maybe 3000 movies over 1500 days of retention. A torrent site with the same subject might have 15,000 of those types of movies.

It's requiring less additional resources with torrents to keep available 'rare' files, since in theory you can get the file from every previous downloader. If they're keeping the movie, which many would do anyways and they have time-unmetered internet, which is common, then there is no separate infrastructure needed to get that movie (they store the file, have internet and have the computer running anyway).

Those strengths are also weaknesses; since you're downloading from other people's computers: speeds may be slow, and they might even log off during the night so your torrent would be interrupted.

There is little justification in having professionally hosted hard drives available 24/7, when such a movie maybe gets a download every few weeks. Newsgroups already go that path, I guess they're reducing the phazing-out of hard drives and use them as long as they still at least read some of the data so they can use them to store the oldest articles instead of outright deleting them. And of course they permanently upgrade their infrastructure, I think a couple of years ago you would get a max of some hundred days, now it's already at ~1500 which is quite impressive seeing as volume of uploads has not decreased in that time.

nzbsrus is pretty awesome with giving out nonpassworded stuff. but u have to pay. They also have the newest and up to date binary address that are giving out nonpassworded goodies like nospamcheerleaders and etc and such, when binsearch never even indexed those addresses. Anyone have a good nzb search website thats like nzbsrus that gives out nonpassworded searches all the time? i use nzbindex, usenetcrawler.

Are you sure Binsearch does not have nospamcheerleaders and other offbeat groups? Try an advanced search and click on" Other groups indexed."

There's always a need for a VPN. Just because your newsgroup connection is SSL, doesn't mean your ISP does not know where you're connecting to - they put 1+1 with your high usage together and let's just say, they don't come up with 11.

There's only so many open source distros you can d/l in a month.
