Just wondering what a rough split is of people using either Usenet, torrents, or both?

I've only just discovered Usenet and while it is paid, it is very cheap and much more convenient than torrents.

Using torrents as well with the *arr suite set up for my various Linux ISOs.

Wait, you have to pay for using Usenet?

Yes just like paying for vpn and/or seedbox to safely torrent.

Well since someone has to host the data, someone needs to pay for it :P

It's funny you put it that way, because torrents are based fundamentally on the idea of freely hosting the data so nobody has to pay to access it.
