  1. Generally don't need a VPN with usenet because according to isp providers it's general downloaded content with encryption so they don't see what you're downloading

  2. speed depends on your provider, not seeder counts, meaning that it's generally much more consistant speeds and can easily reach multi gigabit

  3. don't need to worry about seeding at all, instead you have two caps to worry about that reset daily for indexes, api hits and download counts. Generally you get a couple thousand api hits for third party apps or your Starr apps and a few hundred downloads per day.

  4. older content is generally easier to find on usenet because there is no inactivity deletion due to lack of seeders like on private torrent trackers. The only limitation is your providers retention time generally in the thousands of days range

The one major downside of usenet over torrents is that you pay for access either monthly, yearly, or lifetime for both the provider and the indexer.

And you do need both because the providers give you the ability to download the files and the indexers host the files. So if you have just an indexer you can see the files but not download them or if you have just a provider you have the ability to download the files but can't find any files to download.

Hope this helps!

Man, could you imagine science stopping at it makes sense, so why would we test it? Where would this world be if that was the mentality of inventors and scientists?

I have a 7950x3d hooked up to a 55in 4k TV and it does YouTube 4k and jellyfin 4k no problem. The 9950x3d should be the exact same

I never understand how the tie fighter monitor configuration got to be this popular. It looks so stupid...
