- be generous to share
- fight against censorship and DCMA takedown
- work in a decentralized way
Just wondered it, if someone wants to give his opinion

You need to find a newsgroup provider with alt.binaries access and good retention.
Then you have to find a good indexer. Think of it like a torrent tracker but for Usenet nzbs
Then you need a snatcher like sabnzbd or something else.
But what’s your opinion about it, because don’t you think it’s opposed from the original torrenting piracy spirit?

usenet is decentralized at server level. In theory all the servers have the same content. Currently everything is obfuscated because of the take downs - so you need an indexer (the users upload the nzbs to that website. Think of a nzb like a .torrent file.)

Usenet’s been around in its current form since 1987! The problem for pirates is finding decent providers who serve binaries. I used to use Easynews as they had great retention and they seem to still be around.
Usenet is decentralised, but - as mentioned elsewhere - relies on a handful of providers to service the binary groups.
