    “once you go usenet, you will never go back.” true.

    Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.

    Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.

    I can and don’t want to ever go back…it’s blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it’s there and ready for download; Unlike torrents… just bcs u got a magnet doesn’t mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.

    That way i can request a movie and watch it in ~20min even if it’s a BR-REMUX that is like 80~90GB

    I happily pay for that!
