USENET is basically a very old system for distributing messages on the internet that has had a resurgence in recent years as a very good file distribution mechanism which is anonymous and fast.  It requires you to pay a commercial service provider usually and it takes a little while to get it working, but once you have, it is ridiculously easy.

hxxp://www.slyck.com/ng.php is a good guide to USENET for files.

As for what was said above though - I can understand people not wanting to get into NZBs - for those that have done it, though, it's well worth the effort!

Just wondering if anyone is using USENET to distribute movies, etc.  I note that someone registered hxxp://www.gaynzb.com but it's not up and running.

With the advantages of anonymous downloading, full speed downloads (even on high speed connections), SSL (no one can work out what you're downloading), and anonymous uploading (with some providers), it seems to be where much of the straight porn is going.

If you don't believe me, just check out all the porn listings on USENET via Newsleech: hxxp://www.newzleech.com/posts/?type=5_0&retention=&new=

The disadvantages of course are retention (after about 100 days, most providers drop the files although this is improving) and the need to pay an NNTP provider (around US$10-15).

It would be great to have an NZB section to supplement GayTorrents' BitTorrent Tracker!
