I have been using usenet for 8 or 9 years now and have had consistently faster download speeds than any of the other P2P networks. OK, so you pay for the premium usenet providers, but with providers like Astraweb offering unlimited downloads for $11 a month its hardly breaking the bank. Add in the fact that most if not all usenet providers now have SSL encrypted servers for the paranoid users (myself included!) and you have the fastest and most anonymous P2P network going. If you use a program like the excellent sabnzbd+ in conjunction with nzb sites like newzbin or binsearch, its easier to find files you want and sabnzbd+ take all the hard work out of par2'ing and extracting so all you left with is the file(s) you were after sat in your download folder. BitTorrent, eMule and the rest pale in comparison for only a little extra initial effort and a small monthly fee. I completely disagree with your assessment of Usenet for P2P uses.

I was under the impression that was fairly common. at least it doesn’t include that classic bit of MakeUseOf Badvice: Don’t download torrents containing compressed files

No DC++? I was under the impression that was fairly common.
