You don't know much about torrenting, do you? I can honestly say that each of those bullet points also apply to torrenting. The last time I got a copyright infringement notice was more than 10 years ago when I was still using public torrents sites.

Why the need for the insult? I do know about torrenting and of course you don't get copyright emails on private trackers. Doesn't negate the fact that you have to maintain a ratio and you won't get full ISP speed on a brand new torrent while you have no ratios for newsgroups, you get full speed right when it is uploaded and nobody knows what you download. If your private tracker gets busted, LE will know all that you have downloaded unless they zero out the logs but the fact that you have a ratio, you can still see what you are seeding.
Most newbs will not get invites to private trackers so at first, they will probably go to public trackers.
Anyone I know who was a diehard torrenter and i showed them newsgroups has switched. If you want to talk about not knowing about something, Forte Agent is ultra ancient and anyone who knows a little bit will be using SABnzbd or NZBGet and when using an NZB indexer, you get all the releases, no password needed to unrar ever.
If you remember Agent's interface and slow search, loading headers, etc... It has come a LONG way from that.
Look at what my computer has downloaded just in the past 12 hours with zero intervention from me. It has downloaded, unrar'd, generated metadata, added episode thumbnails, moved the files to the appropriate rack server, and added them to Plex and Kodi. I didn't have to lift a finger.

When SickBeard came out (first usenet "pvr"), it was a total game changer. I loved it so much that i bought the domain, made a website for it and gave it over to midgetspy (the author) as a thank you. It has since been forked into countless projects and i only stopped using it when sonarr came out as it was miles ahead which is saying a lot.
If i do want to find something specific and forego the automation, metadata and user interface of most NZB indexers is excellent:



Anyway, we could go back and forth arguing just like Apple vs Android fanboys and get nowhere. Stick to torrents and i'll stick to newsgroups and close this matter :rolleyes:
