Just saw on Titus Tech Talk that torrents are last decade, and newsgroups is where it's at for this stuff. Of course he didn't elaborate, so I need some help here.

What is he talking about, and what are these groups that can I ~~enter~~ er, avoid?

I mean usenet servers are running with insane retention... omicron hosts have 5648 day retention, other backbones are over 4500

Unless it gets taken down, it doesn't go away anymore... providers just keep retaining. I suppose that will end eventually... maybe some day the cost of storage will prohibit archiving 15 year old binary usenet posts.
