Just saw on Titus Tech Talk that torrents are last decade, and newsgroups is where it’s at for this stuff. Of course he didn’t elaborate, so I need some help here.

What is he talking about, and what are these groups that can I enter er, avoid?

    Honestly he is talking out of his ass, torrents are neither dead nor slow nor used by nobody. They’re very much alive.

      Yeah, the notion that no one uses torrents anymore is hilarious. I use both frequently. Usenet is great and has a lot of benefits, but it doesn’t hold a candle to torrents as far as breadth of available content.
