    That’s almost certainly a partial cross seed, but if it isn’t, that’s one hell of an accomplishment.

      Actually if you would be so kind, what is the rundown of Usenet? I’ve searched a bit but been busy to really sit down on it, should I consider it being just a side thing (for now)?

        Usenet is here to stay, it is similar as if you pay for vip in order to be able to leech without seeding. This makes automated pirating legal in some countries (like mine) since only doing direct downloads from your usenet provider. The usenet provider have servers which exchange bits of data with IDs similar like we do with torrenting. As a user, you now go to a indexer, who gives you a map, with which bits of data you can construct your file. So you then download each bit directly and put everything together and are rewarded with a normal file. Until now I have found every release which is also in predb using the private indexers I have.

          Thank you very much, until I start getting thin on content from public trackers I think I’ll stick to torrents, especially if the bar of entry is lower, I’m in a good situation to seed so I might as well bring that to others

          I am curious over the legality, is it in a way that the provider is storing the whole file just obfuscated? My (rather poor) understanding is that torrents work because the file pieces are distributed

            In some countries, like Switzerland for example, it is legal to download, but illegal to upload content that is copyright protected. So if you want pirate legally, you ether only leech public torrents, buy vip leech pass on private tracker or simply turn to usenet.

            I think it is that way, so that a consumer getting something from someone (free or paid) can not get in trouble for accepting, since how should the consumer know it is a pirated copy (I think the law was written prior digital age). But the one offering can get in trouble, since that person is more likely to know that it is a pirated copy. There is even an exception, which allows you to share your pirated copy with close friends. You can not even get in trouble if you rent stuff, copy it and give the original back after.

              Laws written before the digital age regulating digital age things are the best.

              Feels like a good part of the reason for Usenet to begin, I would like to try but I feel some bit obliged to provide for as long as I’m able. Thanks for your rundown, internationally differing laws are confusing

                I am 70% sure this is correct, i remember vaguely: The swiss law was written in 2019 iirc. The idea is that there is a high tax on drives/usb sticks/dvds and all such devices. This gets distributed to copyrightholders in some way. And uploading is illegal.
