is usenet drying up?

[spleener]

I'm able to find 90% of what I'm looking for -- still seems to be going strong.

[geojetson]

Like everyone else, I've noticed that just about everything is posted with a strange name now days. You pretty much have to use a NZB indexer to find things anymore.

been using astraweb without issue lately, was getting lots of dcma's for a bit, but havnet ran into many lately.

Looking closely usually pays off.

As has been said above, things are still around, its just taking a bit longer to find as compared to before.

I think search engines like binsearch and the like really has made our life harder, when the were supposed to have the opposite effect. I think everything is harder to get now because the industry is more active to bring things down, including filesharers not only usenet.

Agreed. If you make things too easy, it opens everything up to greater risk and swifter takedowns.

i think is been more difficult lately to find what your looking for, some new movirs and games are either incomplete or just cant dl them, would say 20% of the content im looking for isnt there

Its getting tougher but you have to stay up on where to look

[zepherus]

Easynews is still pretty good
