Are there ways to use usenet without a payment/subscription?

    If you find your way into good private usenet indexers, definitely yes. Often I download full Blu-rays posted 10 years ago maxing out my internet connection. Imagine Megaupload from their best days, but better. (at least for movies/tv)

      Wow. That’s pretty good, although based on this and what others have said, it sounds like it’s only worth it if you don’t have access to good private trackers, as I’ve also downloaded full BluRays from IPTorrents and maxed out my internet speeds while doing so.
