I'm on private trackers and we don't have problems either.

Private trackers can be a bitch to get into, and you have to re-seed what you download exposing yourself to copyright claimants and/or pay for a vpn on top.

I just raw dog a usenet server for 5min/movie and I'm done. Faster, easier, and risk free.

I've yet to find a modern use for usenet as I'm not in the habit of downloading everything as it comes out, nor of looking for content within a few days of release. Often I'm looking for 2-5 year old content or back catalog, and usenet has been a uniform landscape of incompletes, even with two blocks on independent providers (or they were when I bought the data blocks).

The requests I receive from my users are typically from the 1990s up to current releases, but have gone as far back as 1951.

I've only failed to find 5 of 140 requests since May.
