Does anyone subscribe to either ?

I have subscribed to a Newsgroup to try but not impressed with the amount of Dross.

Also the NAS I have supports Bit Torrents so can Download overnight but for this I'd want a Private Network which I see you can also subscribe too.
 
I use newsgroups but I don't subscribe to them because I hate waiting to download 5million headers when I only want a few hundred.
Not sure what you are looking for, but google .nzb files - they target your newsgroup downloads a lot more specifically when using an appropriate newsgroup reader.

The main disadvantage when comparing newsgroups downloads to, say torrents, is that the length of time that that they are available varies widely on your ISP or usenet provider, stuff tends to be on Virgin for about 5 days, but you can pay a premium usenet provider such as EasyNews if you want and they keep stuff for almost a whole year.
