As said, if one does not understand a medium, it's not the medium's fault. Same as with torrent, if you need niche-stuff like localized dubs, you'd need local forums/sites for that. Same as with private torrent-trackers. I'm not a native-tongue either, but if i want localized or foreign stuff, there are at least 3 sites where i always find the stuff. It's just not a simple "enter name, wait, watch" anymore, just the same speed when actually downloading. I even have torrent as a low-priority fallback enabled. Didn't trigger for years :) Also torrent's full-speed vastly depends on age of torrents and how mainstream their content is. As if every torrent of the last decade on that tracker is shared with full-speed.
Anyhow, if you think torrent is superior, you're surely entitled to your own opinion of course. As said, the less people that use the usenet, the better for its future.
