Usenet is by far the most reliable and safest way of downloading files and you only need three essential things:
1: Newsgroup Server (e.g You must login or register to view this content.)
2: Newsgroup Reader (e.g You must login or register to view this content.)
3: Indexing Site (e.g You must login or register to view this content.)

WHY USE USENET?
If you’ve never heard of Usenet before or are still unsure of what Usenet is, I highly recommend reading the You must login or register to view this content. The article does a great job explaining the technical side, the past history, and future of Usenet.

The main aspect of Usenet I’m going to discuss is Usenet’s ability to download files. Compared to alternatives, Usenet shines in this area:

Fast Downloads: If you have a good Usenet provider, your download speeds will max out your internet connection. Even 50Mbps+ FiOS connections can max out on Usenet downloads.

No Uploads: The centralized server structure of Usenet does not require uploading. You can download as much as you want and never have to worry about uploading a single file.

Search Easily: Finding files on Usenet is extremely easy thanks to a number of websites that index Usenet content.
Privacy: Many Usenet providers offer SSL encryption options and downloads are always anonymous.



Step 1 - Subscribe to a premium news server
You will first need a Usenet Server provider, most cost anywhere between $5-$20 per month - similar price to a filehost such as rapidshare.
