BETYU

Usenet is always paid because you pay for retention how long a server keeps a file. its like seeding in BitTorrent and if you don’t pay it will probably be shit.

there are just a few countries that work this way japan is another one

because everything is still on v1 and they don’t have a reason to switch to v2 but they could if they used hybrid torrents.

BitTorrent has a new version now BitTorrent v2 you will see this in BitTorrent clients that support it like qBitTorrent in ways like info hash v2 its still getting better v1 and v2 are not inoperable because some of the changes can not work together but you can create hybrid torrents that can work in both. https://www.libtorrent.org/features-ref.html#bittorrent-v2 https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/

i hope it comes back but they are doing there best to make it seem there gone.
