Just wondering what a rough split is of people using either Usenet, torrents, or both?

I’ve only just discovered Usenet and while it is paid, it is very cheap and much more convenient than torrents.

Using torrents as well with the *arr suite set up for my various Linux ISOs.

    This UsenetServer discount link gives you 1 trial month for $1, then $50/year after that, and includes a 1TB TweakNews block and a paid PrivadoVPN account.

      Just want to let you know that Privado VPN is not a private vpn, please read their privacy policy before buying into their services.

        Looks ok to me, what in particular do you take issue with?

            Good to know I guess, but yea that’s a bit too speculative for my taste.

              yes seems silly they would do it for usenet but i would have said the same thing a few years ago about vpn. i guess things are fine until they arent my main surprise in the vpn case was their willingness to work with the feds. they told them once we dont have anything and then THEY contacted the feds and said hey, ask again why dont you.
