In my day the popular kids would share it over bluetooth.

Bluetooth? I got mine from a dial-up BBS via a 1200 baud modem.

i get how usenet is better than streaming from a popup filled website, but i fail to see how it is better than torrenting
qbittorrent has built-in search as well

You don’t understand the difference between Usenet and torrents.

i haven’t used it, only read some available documentation, but it seems like a subscription service to access a server with stuff of dubious legality on it, but please correct me if i’m wrong. i kinda want to get into it but, as i was saying, i fail to see how it is better than torrenting

It’s better because it basically has everything that torrent sites have, since the same groups upload everything to both, but it’s all done over SSL encrypted connections so your ISP can’t see what you’re downloading, so you don’t need a VPN and you are downloading directly from servers so it’s much faster and you don’t have to worry about the number of seeders, nor do you have to seed yourself. You have many different providers you can sign up to, and many different indexers to help find what you are looking for.
Once you’ve tried it, torrenting feels so amateur and insecure and outdated. Ideally you just set up both, which is what I have done, but the torrents are the “last resort” when the content I want can’t be found on Usenet.

Popups? In 2025?
