I know that this community will fall to the exact same destiny as they all do. 999 posts wanting a Drunkenslug invite and if all the stars align we get a once in a lifetime post of someone offering an invite.

Many of Usenet users don’t actually know they can invite people and help others to their first steps into that scene.

So i beg of you, take a look into your profiles, find those invite buttons and offer them here! They will not be of any use if they just get dusty in your profiles, we need those invites in the community!

There is absolutely nothing for you personally to gain here, other than the satisfaction of helping others.

Thank you all and cheers!

    I don’t think they are less popular.

    But their whole system works different. There is not a single file there that’s called Inception.h265.HDR.mkv for example

    Its all just billions of g24hg54j2k7j6nb2n1n5b5j files with absolute gibberish as content. So you need the nzb files to actually get stuff out of it.

    But the nzb files also don’t hold any copyright infringing material in and of itself.

    So copyright holders have to fight two thing at once

      No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).
