Are there ways to use usenet without a payment/subscription?

Wow it really was ages ago if you mention newsbin as an indexer. Nowadays, indexer usually refers to privately run services that index nzbs for you. Most require a subscription fee, but are worth it because without them you can't really find anything manually anymore since the file names are all obfuscated. This really helps prevent copyright takedowns.

Yeah, I don't think there were discrete indexers.

I've missed a few rounds of cat and mouse
