My problem is that so much junks on newsgroups that you have to figure out which one to get is a pain in the behind

I've been on Astra/US as my 'primary' provider for almost a decade (probably close to a petabyte transferred at this point), and have yet to hit anything of interest that has been. If of course you're talking about 'pro-wrestling' (controlled by organized crime in the US) and junk TV (close to 100% eventually available on Netflix), you may have a point.Originally Posted by Raxitoriux
If by 'junk' you mean all the scrambled naming and encrypted rar's, you have a partial point. But you'd be surprised at how much is identifiable by the judicious use of 'the google'. Then again, there still is, at this point in time, quite a lot that is fully 'in the clear' (no scrambled names and no encryption used) and I have yet to hit any of it that's been targeted, again, if one isn't interested in the categories I mentioned in the above paragraph.

I hope we never see that day come (if it's not the end of the internet)
Not sure is drying up but for sure it leaves in the instant. More and more difficult to find complete archive of all stuff. Had to dowload Termintaor 2 by torrent as all arhcivees were incomplete

The important thing is to check every day, but apart from that business as usual.
Most everything is there, it is just harder to find it these days
It really all depends. I'm getting something from 453 days ago, every piece but 1 has had missing segments, but the PARs are enough to reconstruct.
I don't think Usenet is drying up soon. I still can find all actual TV series and movies.
also depends on your Usenet server
If you have good sources, usenet works just fine.
