This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What goes missing? ~~You~~ I don’t know how Usenet works.

Edit: edited to say I don’t know instead of you.

The files are not stored indefinitely, retention is based on the provider

[–] MrNobody@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Retention for 90%+ of providers is at least 4500 days for binary files and 110000 days for newsgroups. Have two providers, one monthly and one block, that run on different backbones with one that takes down for dmca and one that doesn't and you'll be fine. There are very very very few shows or movies that you can't get. Don't have to worry about VPN, ratios, trackers or any of that other crap.

So movies from 2011 and before can not be found?

That's cool, retention a lot better now than like 10 or 20 years ago
