I've never used Usenet... I'm really not familiar with it, tbh. I just DDL or stream everything lol.

DirectDownLoad, is used to describe sites that offer download links without needing special software or protocols, might require lots of clicking through ads and downloading big files in multiple parts on different sites, since file hosts usually give a size limit to the files, think megaupload back in the day, you often hear the term warez for those too

I tried Usenet, wasn't a big fan of it, to be honest.

The way I see it, unless you live in a country where your traffic is constantly moderated for torrent traffic, there's no reason to not use torrents.

Also, IPv6 torrenting is for the most part unmoderated by ISPs, my friend who lives in California only torrents via IPv6 on qBit and he had gotten 0 emails from his ISP. However, YMMV depending on country.
