Orpheus for torrents, Usenet gets like 90% of the stuff out there though. And don't forget to sort your favorites bands but buying their albums when they provide them as FLAC.

Nah, I won't pay for music, unless it's a signed record, because the bands get pretty much no money from the sale, so it's more of a fuck you to the labels. But I will travel to go to concerts and buy merch to support them.

I guess I should get around to figuring out how to use usenet, though.

Usenet is way better than torrenting. I had heard about it for years and finally checked it out a month ago. I bought a few lifetime memberships to trackers (but just nzbgeek might be enough) and subscribed to news hosting. The reliability and speeds are so much better. Plus the traffic is encrypted and it's much less common than torrenting so also safer

Can you recomend me some trackers? I've been considering usenet for a few months now but never pulled the trigger

I'm using nzbgeek, nzbplanet, and miatrix
