I'm a bit surprised to see so many torrent posts. Are most people still using Torrents? Are most piracy users aware of programs like sonarr or radarr?

What's the problem with torrent?

Honestly nothing at all, I just prefer the speeds and reliability of Usenet (though I pay for that).

Private trackers have great speed and reliability as well. I've been using sonarr and radarr for years but have never bothered with Usenet due to the added cost. They all work great with torrents even though they were originally designed for Usenet.

Private trackers can be a real pain in the ass. Usenet is set it and forget it, no sweating over your ratio or what the special rules are on a particular tracker.

@Knoxvomica @exonac which one do you use ? Years ago, some were not reliable anymore ... Like giganews if I recall correctly
