MODERATORS
On the usenet side of the house, I think the only big change was NZB Matrix going away.
I can't tell if no one talks about usenet because no one knows about it or because they don't want anyone else to know about it.
Both. It's a semi secret club.
I prefer torrents because it's totally free, unlike Usenet. I don't even pay for a VPN since I don't care about a few love letters in my inbox. It's not about the cost; it's a matter of principle that I disagree with commercialized piracy.
But Usenet is a good option for other reasons.
