        Paying for better quality and reliable access. Enjoy your torrents, when you grow up and care about bitrate, compression, audio quality, and ease of access come on back and I’ll be happy to walk you through it.

          Don’t be a gatekeeping dick. I was there to use limewire and had only learned of Usenet 4 months ago and the benefits are non obvious by design.

        Tons of tutorials out there but think of it as two pieces 1 is a bunch of servers that hold Stuff 1 is an index that tells you what that stuff is

        If you’re willing to pay $5-15/mo for ease of use, it’s a reliable way to get data of all kinds. Some is even legal.

        Tldr: It’s the client-server version of torrent’s peertopeer

          Okay thanks for the explanation. Although I wouldn’t want to download without supporting artists.
