Dunno, kinda new to the concept of Usenet. As far as I know, this is
how them aging dork hackers used to share/grab their loot back in the
dark ages before there was modern P2P networks. But I've been told
that you can max out any connection here, because the loot is stored
on ISPs newservers.

I got a couple questions:

1. Is the traffic encrypted?
2. Is your IP concealed. If so, how?
3. How does it compare to modern P2P networks (e.g. Gnutella/
FastTrack) overall, in terms of security, stability, upload/download
querying etc.?

I'm also aware that unpopular content untouched for a week is
automatically removed, which is one thing P2P networks have over
Usenet, but also makes it depend on a users will to share (usually
bullshit dial-up speeds of like 5 KB/s), which Usenet has over P2P, so
meh.

And one more thing: you mentioned decoding. Did you mean decrypting? I
heard large files are split into chunks and re-ordering the chunks
correctly requires much user input, and for the user to not be an
average dipshit netizen who can only use idiot-proof apps like
BitTorrent. I'm a fast learner, so that won't be a problem. Just put
the process in a nutshell.
