Live torrents for some old movies and pretty hard to find. I thought about somehow extracting .m3u8 but that didn't worked out. Those sits are getting better at hiding real stream URL. Any way to easy do it or something?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, a usenet subscription costs less and you get everything you want without even having to seed anything.

You keep your ratio when you stop paying for the seedbox, can you also keep your usenet access?

It's a good point, but you also don't keep your ratio, if you stop seeding and only leech, eventually your ratio gets bad again. You just changed to prepaid volume instead of subscription :D

But yeah, you also don't need your usenet access forever. It's only for rarely found stuff, remember? You just accumulate those over some time, then pay for a month to get it all, then cancel again. Main tool is public torrents.

I was just thinking, of "a bunch of money" is a lot more than $6. Pulling up Usenet plans range from $4-8month for basic stuff. I've never used it. I don't know enough about it. To each their own I guess.
