Usenet was great 10-15 years ago but nowadays it's flooded with fake / private downloads and retention is shit simply because the few remaining backbone providers comply with takedown requests. Absolutely useless for older content by any major studio. It's all new stuff which is mostly garbage anyway. We were able to get a ton of "this old house" recently though.
Its important to have a supplemental block account, that won't generally accede to DMCA requests. The big guys will of course, but they don't get rid of the whole file, so you can grab the remainder from the block account. I can't even think of the last time I wasn't able to download something between my main and block account.
appreciate the advice, would make it less aggravating. Which one do you recommend? I'm on newshosting and have no problems that aren't just general usenet problems.
I'm just gonna to invite you to google this and see where it takes you. Might not be up your alley, might be a compete gamechanger: InviteHawk
