Using a torrent is not illegal, nor is using newsgroups. You can use them for illegal activity, but that has not really been condoned or suggested in this thread. Wink

Not sure how newsgroups are still around. Everything is hosted from a server. Seems to me it would be quite easy to shut down that particular server.
People pay for newsgroups, whereas torrents are usually free. Paid torrents are rarely ever busted. Surely if the authorities ever wipe out all the free servers, they will go after the paid ones more regularly, but things have been going on like this for over a decade so I don't see any major changes on the horizon. Private not-for-profit FTP servers still beat all of the above in terms of speed and safety.

And the private IRC channels. But getting into that stuff nowadays generally requires you to be a friend-of-a-friend.
