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 😄

Despite Torrents benefiting from decentralized file distribution, its efficacy remains governed by seeding availability. Usenet, with centralized storage, boasts impressive retention periods, often spanning several years. This is why it does not require seeding unlike torrents.

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.
