Hello,

I tried in the past to wrap my head around usenet, and I bought access to some news downloader (iirc it was called that way not sure, but it was Eweka) and tried using it, the problem was that every download I tried to get was dead on arrival (link being dead, failing to verify file integrity) yet so many people on piracy forums swear by Usenet and claim that for ~$60 a year they get a much more superior experience than torrents, and yet, I currently torrent everything with no issues at all.

The reason for trying Usenet that when attempting to search some less popular TV shows/movies, I could not always find it in the quality I wanted to see, and therefore decided to give it a try.

Any suggestions?

    I heard of Drunken in the past but I couldn’t get an invite and always missed the registrations dates, so I just stuck with Geek.
