Usenet. You can download files at high speeds and don't have to fulfill any requirements. But it's insanely hard to get into the top usenet indexers.

What do you mean? Just pay a subscription fee. Or am I missing something?

[–] spiderman@ani.social 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

you first have to get invited for that right?

No, just go to one of the websites and subscribe. It's dead simple.

top tier usenet providers don't work like that. i wish they would though.

Seriously? I'm subscribed to eweka and news hosting for nntp, as well as nzbgeek and nzbfinder for my indexers. Nzbgeek has a lifetime subscription option. You can get anything you're looking for. It's a simple subscription process.

What are you considering as 'top tier' that won't take a subscription?

Some sites for reference:

sorry to break your bubble, they are good but they aren't the top tier usenet indexers i am talking about.

the top tier i am talking about has a "fight club's rule 1". they take donations but simply won't give you an account if you are willing to get inside.

Then what are some of them? What are they providing that the others don't?

He is probably talking about nzbs.in or omgwtfnzbs.me

Usenet is easier to take down because its a centralized server and you essentially just pay for retention of files. the better Usenet providers have longer retention.
