I found about Usenet and the sort of “hype” relative to it and I wonder some stuff.

Maybe I’m a bit old school but is this process not against the spirit of piracy,

  • 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?

        As someone who used to download C64 games in the 1980s, from a BBS, trust me. Pirating existed decades before BitTorrent.

        Decades.
