I didn’t say anything about Usenet in the comment you are replying to. The point is Radarr/Sonarr are not Usenet. They are just front ends regardless of which service you are getting content from. Whatever download speed you get on that service is what you get, they have nothing to do with it.
I’ve had plenty of torrents download at high speed, is it less reliable than Usenet? Yes, but It’s also free. I’ll wait a day or two if I have to if it saves me money.
And i didn’t say they’re better than torrents, as they can do both. It’s just the easier overall wrapping than using the regular torrenting-way we did since torrents first came up. It makes me even able to actually use torrents (if i wanted to).
And yes, of course usenet is faster than torrent. Sure you might have a fresh torrent with tons of high-speed-seeders that downloads at fullspeed. But if that one is a year old you’re often outta luck. If it’s 10 years old you’re most likely outta luck.
Never the case with usenet. Always, everything from the last 12yrs at absolute maximum speed your line (and the provider) allows.
“Free” is relative. If you’re using public trackers, then yes. Private trackers either require to share a lot (ugh, no thanks and also highly illegal here, hence i would need a vpn) or donate.
I pay 5 bucks a month for usenet and 25 or so a year for indexers (plural). That’s one delivered (and shitty) pizza here.
Torrent. Phht. Who got the time for that. Sonarr/Radarr/emby(or whichever u prefer) Enter title, wait a minute (unless u r on slow net or prefer 4k remux) and watch. Enter Series-name,go to bed. Enjoy 12 full seasons tomorrow.
Not sure how else anyone was supposed to interpret that.
