Usenet-curious, will I find a treasure trove of reality tv? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for things like Amazing Race (all the spin-off countries), Survivor, Gladiators, Ninja Warrior, etc.

If I dip my toe into the Usenet thing, will I find this sort of stuff? Do I have to look in a certain spot? By this I mean do different servers tend to store different styles of catalogues, or do they network like a P2P system?

Apologies if I'm not making sense, I don't really know the correct jargon.

I absolutely swear by Usenet. As long as you get on a few trackers, you can widen your net and find most of what you want. BTW, Drunken Slug is currently open to registrations. I found quite a bit of Amazing Race on there.

You’ll find varying retention spans on each tracker. Look at a few and judge from those. I have accounts on Drunken Slug, NZBGeek, NZB.su, NZB Planet, and BinSearch.

Thanks for the tip on Drunken Slug registrations being open. Just signed up

Happy to help! I noticed it mentioned in their sidebar. I get most of my content from NzbPlanet with Drunken Slug coming in a close second (according to Prowlarr stats).
