There are however certain advantages and disadvantages of Usenet as compared to torrents. For example, recent legal developments where ISP's have ratted out torrent users has made Usenet more attractive.

I don't know how many parts this will be since I'm in the process of writing it, but over the next couple weeks I should be able to give you all the information you will need.

So, let's start at the beginning.

History

Centuries ago (circa 1985), before there was an internet, people still liked to chat. So some of the proto-geeks who could afford it (back then, geeks got even less respect than now) would get a couple extra phone lines and a spare computer and set it up as a bulletin board service (BBS). Other geeks would dial in and post messages much like we do today on internet forums.

As the internet began to grow, a protocol was established for creating BBS's in cyberspace. In form and function they were much like a normal BBS except that they didn't exist in any particular place. Rather, these “newsgroups” were mirrored on whatever servers wished to mirror them.

The collection of internet newsgroups eventually came to be known as Usenet. This is not to be confused with the newsgroup provider Usenet.com.

Although newsgroups were originally meant to be a means of exchanging text messages, with a little encoding magic one could also upload binary files. Data is normally encoded in bytes of 8 bits but Unix-type data communication required that one bit be used for parity checking. That left only 7 bits for data. Converting from one form to another wasn't a real issue though. There was even a program that could be transmitted and run without any decoding. It was written in assembler using only the first 128 commands recognized by a CPU and therefore only 7 of the 8 bits.

Legend has it that the first binaries to be uploaded were pornographic in nature. That may or may not be true, but porn did become a popular theme for many newsgroups. And the desire to share one's porn collection with others became an important factor in the growth of the internet – even before the appearance of the Worldwide Web.

Today, Usenet has largely been replaced by web sites in regard to the distribution of pornography. However it is still a very popular medium for the exchange of warez (cracked software) and multimedia such as television shows and movies.

The main limitation of Usenet however was the fact that your access to a particular newsgroup depended mainly on your ISP. Each mirror site can determine which newsgroups to mirror.

Something called the “retention period” was and sometimes still is another problem. In addition to deciding which newsgroups to host, the mirror can determine the length of time for which it will keep posts made to the group. Ten years or so ago, my ISP only had a retention period of several days.

To be completely accurate though, ISP's often were not the actual host. Instead they would contract this function out.

Because of these limitations, as well as other issues such as privacy, companies arose that specialized in mirroring Usenet newsgroups. They are always subscription based and today have extensive retention periods. One of the largest, Giganews, now retains posts, including attached binary files, for approximately one year.

Another advantage of such a service is that for a small fee, you will have the option of accessing newsgroups via an encrypted link.

But more on that anon.
