    Thanks! And sorry, I meant to say that I don’t know how Usenet works, not you.

    Follow-up question. Why is retention so important? Wouldn’t they get reuploaded again? Or is it mainly a problem for more obscure content.

      Torrents persist until all seeders disappear for good, which is rare on private trackers. On usenet generally content is uploaded ASAP upon release and then only lasts as long as rentention. Maybe you’ll get rereleases on usenet but it didn’t seem to be a common occurance
