It isn't availability that makes me prefer Usenet, but its speed and security features.

I’d like to know this as well. Haven’t used Usenet for over 10 years. PTP, BTN, and Red are all I need. Seed box and Plex. I’m into indie/obscure films also, so what would Usenet offer that they don’t?

If you have cabal and able to maintain ratio (yeah BTN is ratio less) you don’t need Usenet

But thats such a small proportion of people. Usenet is what I recommend to entry level people who want top tier access but aren’t will to spend time/effort/networking but will spend money m

Use two providers on different networks. They can fill in the gaps for each other.

Most indexers have a request form for content. Ive used the one on NZBGeek numeous times and gotten what I wanted within a day or two.

what is usenet just a DDL site?

Huh, a couple years ago everything was being DMCAd haven't come accross that issue in awhile, at least me personally.

Interesting. I guess I've just been lucky enough to find all the content I look for.
