I have been seeding public torrent trackers for a few years and recently learned about Usenet.

I figured I'de take this shot in the dark and see if I can get a peek behind the curtain into the world of private trackers and maybe meet some like minded folk.

I have a NAS that i use as a 24\7 seedbox and will redownload media I already have just to raise my all time upload and ratio, i like to treat it like a high score ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks for the explanation, now it's clicking in my brain why all of the Usenet trackers I hear about are all private... They likely wouldn't be around very long if they were distributing linux iso's from their own servers to the general public.
