I am a mildly net savvy person who only knows about torrents and file sharing. Can you point me to resources where I can learn more about Usenet? Also, what client and service do you use to access it? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, R#ddit is still a great resource for that. Check out the /r/Piracy wiki.

To summarize, Usenet is made up by servers that host all the “newsgroups”, but nowadays newsgroups are used to share files (like email attachments).

You don’t need to know anything about Usenet itself, the things you need are three:

an indexer (they let you find nzb files, like torrent files)

a Usenet server subscription (where files are actually stored)

a client to download from that server (nzbget and SABnzbd are the two most used)

Good luck!

Trashguides is a good place for the arr applications.

Tldr you’ll need a hoster, newshosting is what I use And an indexer drunkenslug is one I use. I have 6. Lol

Indexer is the search that points to the files hosted on the hoster.

Good luck!
