    The whole PC isn’t a browser, there are things that I don’t want saved every few seconds, with potentially sensitive details. Bank or medical info is a bit different than having a link to a webpage. And no, I don’t believe all this will stay local. Even if not straight away, it will eventually be sold to advertisers one way or another



  • Sabnzbd is free, you can install anywhere basically. The rest is not free unfortunately, someone has to host the files, as there are no peers in usenet. I think some, if not all, providers and indexers can be paid with crypto or even mailing them the money by post.

    Provider is €50 a year. Indexers are around €10 a year, but there are lifetime subscriptions for some.

    In return, you don’t need a VPN, download speeds are stable and there is no seeding.

    Out of 220 files downloaded, I only needed torrents 12 times, rest is usenet.

    Read up on benefits of one over the other before switching :)
