Can you access Usenet for free?
There is a completely free way to access Usenet that we mentioned earlier—Google Groups. Google acquired an archive of Usenet posts many years ago and continues to index Usenet newsgroups and conversations.
Is the Usenet still active?
But did you know that there's another network that's currently in use? It was created before the WWW, in 1979, as a way to exchange files through the UUCP protocol. Its creators called it Usenet (User's Network), and it is now one of the oldest computer network communication systems still in use.
What is the alternative to XS Usenet?
There are more than 10 alternatives to XS usenet, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. The best alternative is Google Groups, which is free. Other great sites and apps similar to XS usenet are Fleep, GetNZB, Newshosting and Usenet.net.
Why do people still use Usenet?
The major use of Usenet currently is for file-sharing of copyrighted media. It's safer than torrents if you only want to download--since for torrents you are also uploading.
