Title says it. Is anyone still on the newsgroups? For reasons I need to amass a large collection of music in MP3 format, preferably full albums, and I’d like to do it somewhat quickly. Is there a better place to hunt before I buy news server access? I been on land for too many years.

    Yes.

    I get my music from slsk though, try nicotine+ (client for soulseek).

    Thanks for reminding me to hunt for that one japanese album I can’t find anywhere on usenet though, that’s the only place I haven’t looked. Can’t even buy a physical copy (and would be willing, I’ve been looking so long).

    E: OH but be warned, put some files in your slsk share folder before you download, and you can also re-share your downloads folder. Some losers have auto-ban scripts for people “not sharing” which is mostly new people (though they’re too dumb to realize that). Just throw a few albums in your “share” folder (and set that up in settings,) you’ll bypass them. Also, would VPN, preferably with port forwarding but beggars can’t be choosers.
