you pay for an account on some server. that helps the server with bandwidth and storage costs. the server you use knows where some popular forums are (sort of like fediverse) and will cache certain boards.
when you want one of the items, you ask your server for it and they shove it down the pipe.
don't forget to pay your bill.
edit: i only read the title. it seems like i literally taught you nothing. sorry to waste ur time.
Haha no worries, still helpful. I edited the title to be a bit more clear about what I'm asking for :)
I am interested in this topic but I unlike the OP do not know anything about the theme, what difference does Usenet have from a debrid service like AllDebrid? if I’m not wrong, Alldebrid download on their servers by torrent the magnet you give it and you just download it as a direct download, what difference does this have with Usenet?
The two things are similar in the big picture view. You do a direct download from Usenet as well. The difference is in where the data comes from (people choosing to upload files, like they choose to seed) and how exactly you download it (you need one or more usenet indexer accounts plus download tools).
Usenet is basically an old school message board that has adapted to host binary files instead of shitposts. :)
