Many don't know about usenet. When you only download using torrents and don't know anything else, you might look into it after reading something about it here. It's how I found sonarr and radarr, by reading about it on reddit.

About the speed: Oh, that's such a difference. I download with roughly 100MB/s constantly, which is the max write speed of my drives (1000mb/s connection). I've never reached anything like that with torrents.

New movie? Sure. Let's download the 46GB version. 10min later and it's downloaded, extracted, renamed, put in the right folder, added to Kodi ready to watch, including subtitles.

To me usenet is a no-brainer.
