Usenet can yes… absolutely… but likely only for the text groups… for binary newsgroups you’re going to have to pay and you’ll need to do your research to find one that’s (ideally) not a highwinds backed supplier as they automate DMCA takedowns.

that all depends on your college and how much your IT admins have locked down their connection… Usenet will work on any connection… unless it’s being actively blocked.

i think there are differences, but i don’t know what… infinity did post their encoding settings int he early releases but then said that they would be the same moving forward and stopped… so i guess it’s just a matter of comparing a rarbg release and an infinity

Strange, and apologies my suggestion didn’t work for you… I play everything through Kodi and i’ve not had any issues with their releases… I’d be interested to know if you’ve had problems with RARBG-X265 releases?

For those of you missing rarbg, infinity has encoded it and released it on torrentgalaxy.
