I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

It isn't availability that makes me prefer Usenet, but its speed and security features.

The download speed on any popular release will max out even the fastest connections. I assume the retention for less popular content is a lot better on trackers, but I don't have enough experience with usenet to say that for sure.

security features

What features?

Usenet connections can be encrypted. No need for a VPN or any other obfuscation.

Torrents can be encrypted as well, and there isn't a need for a VPN unless you use public trackers, which I don't recommend.

What is the monthly fee for Usenet? I'm more in favor of decentralized systems with the use of seedboxes to speed up distribution, but I'm not against usenet either.
