I don’t think HN is the broader public.

  I'm a bit confused - what does your solution solve that Torrenting doesn't?
  • wil421 8y ago
    Complete automation, no seeding, less risky download sources, less risk of your ISP complaining about BitTorrent traffic, and an almost nil chance of getting a nasty legal letter for seeding. Plus the Usenet servers are usually much faster than torrents. With Gigabit I am seeing much faster speeds.

      What's the yearly fee look like?

      You should look into private trackers... I have the same setup for german content (there are no german trackers that have good seeds/content/moderation and api) but for english stuff torrents are still the king if you have the right trackers (ptp/btn/hdb and even 2nd and 3rd tier trackers are all fine). Any listed disadvantage doesn't exist with private trackers, and it doesn't even cost a cent - unlike usenet subscription and indexer.
