You can get a lot of warez on usenet

I still use it to download Coronation Street every week but that's about all. I don't use warez anymore.

In order to get anything useful you have to have a premium server account and pay like 20 a month, plus another 3 bucks a month or so for a 3rd party indexing service.

To me its worth it and it basically works like a Tivo service, keeps me up to date on TV shows and stuff, which would be hard to do legitimately since I live in the Caribbean.

BitTorrent works fairly well but is alot slower and if what you want is not very popular it can be frustrating to use.

Oh wait, do you mean is anybody using it to post messages and stuff like it was intended originally? I have no idea and I highly doubt it.
