said by kilrathi:Usenet is not gonna be main thing mainly because things are even harder on there now, hidden names and passwords when it comes to the real goods every day, sure regular joe can still find stuff and run into some spam but I dont see usenet to be mainstream like torrents ever.
Especially with places like NewzBin and the like being taken off the Internet. I remember using things like NZB files to download stuff back in the day. I also remember PAR and PAR2 files too to repair possibly bad downloads.
