How Does Usenet Work? We mean it is fast, very fast. Since it is essentially server-based, the transfer is one-way only and no files are transferred from your computer. That is, of course, unless you are uploading content.

Security is another important aspect of Usenet. The connection between your newsreader and the Usenet server will almost always be encrypted. And since there is only a connection between your newsreader and the server, other users are not aware of your existence.

Cons The main disadvantage of Usenet is its cost. They are usually very slow, only contain a small subset of the messages with ridiculously short retention times and they rarely offer a secured connection.

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act takedown process was created to protect service providers from being legally responsible for the content their users upload. If copyright holders are aware that their content is posted somewhere for everyone to download they can issue a DMCA takedown request. The service provider must then honor the request and remove the file. There is a way around this as suppliers in some countries—the Netherlands is a good example—are not subjected to DMCA takedown requests.

The search capabilities—or lack thereof—of Usenet is another area that leaves somewhat to be desired. Fortunately, this has been alleviated by the introduction of the NZB file format and NZB indexing sites which do index content on servers on a regular basis and offer a user-friendly interface for finding specific files. What are Torrents? How do Torrents Work? Most torrent software requires no special configuration and will work right after completing its installation.

And with literally dozens of torrent websites out there, finding content is always easy. Even rare or older content can be found most of the time.

You can also look at our list of Pirate Bay alternatives for more options. RARBG is a large directory of torrents, famous for a very active community of seeders and high-quality torrents. Its library size is decent, and it gets updated often, meaning that you have a high chance of finding new torrents on the site.

The only difference is that ad intrusion is more annoying on RARBG, so take that into account when choosing one of the two. There are a lot of phishing scams going around with RARBG-looking sites, so make sure you learn about secure browsing. Website: X website. Some people use it to browse for game torrents as well, but from our research, it does look like both RARBG and The Pirate Bay have more torrents in that category, especially for older titles.

A few years ago, X was a bad choice for any torrenting, since it was clunky to navigate and it posed a lot of security risks. Since then, it went through an entire site revamp , making it seamless to browse and safer.

For shows and movies, you also have improved browsing functionalities, like searching by award nomination. Mirrors: x. Website: Torrentz2 website. While this is not that big of a torrent site — only amassing million users a month, and unable to sport much of a library for general torrents — Torrentz2 is very good for finding music.

Lastly, classics are readily available on the platform. If you want high-definition episodes of your favourite shows, EZTV is the place to go.

We tried browsing for older titles, and it has a good library, both for PC and consoles. You can subscribe to different categories or titles and get a feed of new torrents for them. Update: Despite recent claims to the contrary, Zooqle still seems to be up and running.

For instance, we received a remark from one of our French readers that Zooqle has been shut down, so we checked with a VPN if it was blocked in France. In all three instances, we were successful. Therefore, we have to conclude that, as of now, Zooqle is accessible to, at least, a great portion of internet users.

Needless to say, we will check this regularly and keep you updated! LimeTorrents is very good for new releases. Mirrors: limetorrents. Not a torrent site per se, Torrends. Mirrors: None.
