Just saw on Titus Tech Talk that torrents are last decade, and newsgroups is where it's at for this stuff. Of course he didn't elaborate, so I need some help here.

What is he talking about, and what are these groups that can I ~~enter~~ er, avoid?

100% accurate. There are a ton of guides online to getting your indexer and providers picked and set up. It's a much better space than torrents. I'm never going back into the muck with those things.

I'll have to look into it. I remember usenets as a kid but that was 25 30 years ago haha cries in getting old

Yeah, last time I used Usenet the client was the email client, your ISP hosted a server, and the internet occupied the phone line
