Just as anonymous as a vpn (usenet instead of a vpn). Plus it’s the host taking the risk, not the customers; cops/copyright holders are interested in the distribution not the consumption. With torrents, you are the host and a consumer; usenet your just a consumer.
I pay 8$/mo for the usenet provider and indexer together and get a constant 45-50mbps download speed out of it (mostly limited by disk speed really). I’ve also found far more content available via usenet and one indexer vs the 18+ torrent indexers I used to use.

What service do you use?
Frugal Usenet for a service provider and NZBGeek for an indexer.
