Usenet is worth it. More selection, no hoping that someone is out there seeding, and the quality is almost always much better.
Yes, sorry, not newsgroups, usenet is what I meant - and by money to access.
Newsgroups are bloody horrific unless you are picking things up the very second that they're released.
Everything gets DMCA takedown strikes extremely quickly and goes missing. You might get lucky and put it together with repair files etc but I have all but given up on it. You need a lightning fast connection and radarr/ sonarr set up to grab things you MIGHT be interested in automatically or it's a total wash.
The mule may be a ghost town, but Soulseek is still alive and well
I do hope that the new torrent protocol will help with that, especially for "compilations of stuff" (e.g series, episodes, starring XYZ, ...): as I understand it, seeding will become a global file-level thing that can cross torrent boundaries. The new trend of seeding and referencing over I2P might help with keeping the old stuff afloat too.
Head to 4chan: /r/ Requests and /t/ Torrents. Good magnet link trade there.
