I miss the old days when usenet was flourishing....I'd do 400 gigs a month easily (yes, I have a problem :-) Now it's all takedowns and scrambled. I'm having a hard time finding what I need anymore, half the groups in my Bitche are invite only. I'm an indie music lover and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a better way of getting new indie music like back in the day in the newsgroups...There's gotta be a better way! I was trained by Warezthecat back in the day and I remember him showing me some great FTP sights and introducing me to usenet and how to navigate it. I guess I've been set in my ways so long I need a refresher. Anyone care to help?
TIA!

@Nellbagom Moved to Tracker help section

A couple of sugestions:

Deezer Downloader
Soulseek
kingdom-leaks.com

I consider those three great sources for indie music

Tracker wise, try to join waffles. There's a good amount of invites for it in giveways and their collection is decente.
