Question Anyone still use Usenet?

Gave up a while back due to DCMA takedowns / Spam, however, really miss maxxing out my connection for the full download speeds.

Any decent NSP's, .nzb sites still around?

I used to hammer my connection with Usenet too but also gave up for the same reasons. A mate tried it again recently and said it was rubbish

Thanks for some good advice chaps.

How does that work? Can you download any torrent or just the shared ones on the site?

I take it there's a subscription?

The fastest I get using Tixati is around 5mbps, and that's only very occasionally.
