I read a lot of mixed opinions online. What do you find there that you can't on torrent sites? Or is it just ease of use? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago* Ease of use (once it's set up). Getting it set up is the tricky part, but it's just tedious more than anything else. I actually have two subscriptions, one for the newsgroup and one for the indexer. The newsgroup access is monthly while the indexer is annual, like $12/yr or something, stupid cheap. Absolutely worth it. permalink fedilink source parent
