What’s funny is that the source those *arrs are downloading from is largely unchanged from the 90’s &aughts by still being newsgroup based
Funny thing, I tried using newsgroups for their intended purpose after rediscovering that Thunderbird is also a newsreader. The amount of topics is large (and really old), but the ones I checked out haven't had many updates. Though i admit I haven't been brave enough to dive into the alt. group yet. It reminds me of the internet before the web.
...thats because newsgroups have been around a lot longer than the web?
Well, yeah. My first interaction with the internet was a friend's technical savvy dad who had compuserve.
Noob
Yeah, I've been using newsgroups since the 90s back when I was also using xdcc on irc. Times were quite different.
Funny thing is that the only reason I've found *arrs a few years ago was Netflix deciding to be stupid, making me look at how I can manage my local library better nowadays.
*arrs auto downloading stuff for sure.
