          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.
