    People should learn how to seed. If you don’t want to seed, just pay for Usenet.

      It’s a shame Usenet has become fully paid. It’s what ultimately pushed me into torrents. And the fact that small communities don’t have all the content out there for you to download via Usenet.

        Downloading large files from Usenet was paid pretty early on. If the core functionality of Usenet is now paid, this is news to me.

          There weren open test servers though and sites with limited trials but no data limit.

          That’s what I used back in the day. Sadly all these trial offers are gone now and demand credit card information upfront.
