A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

Does Usenet trigger the same issue?

No, it's just p2p that works in their favour...

It's just the seeding that is illegal, not the downloading part. You can pirate, you just can't share (legally).
