Oh damn, I didn't know it wast that cheap. Do you get access to everything with that? Like apart from movies and TV, does it also have like niche software, obscure movies or lesser known books and such ? Also, what about hosting? In the past I had a good seedbox/VPS that I was paying $20/month for that I could use to maintain ratio on private trackers as well as host my own plex server. Would I have to spend more on my own server in addition to Usenet or is streaming available for Usenet?
You would still need a server to host your Plex. Usenet is just the source of your files. You would use a downloader like SABnzbd to download and unpack your files. You can then point Plex to those files if you wanna access them on your Plex.
The only thing that changes when you switch from torrent to usenet is how the files are downloaded. The same way you can torrent at home, you can also download from usenet at home. It's just that if you have a server, you can offload all the downloading and unpacking to the server, and you can also use Plex to share it with your friends, etc.
Sometimes, but it's hit or miss.
There's no hosting fees. You don't seed. You just download.
I dunno about streaming but downloads are wicked fast. My movies are usually up on Plex about 10 mins after I request them.
