In short, you need three things: (here's what I've been using)

An indexer: NZBgeek Just like a torrent indexer, but for .nzb files instead of .torrents

A provider: Frugal Usenet Where you're downloading data from.

And a client: SabNZBD

When it comes to which provider to choose; pretty much all of them provide similar retention and unlimited data cap, so you really just need to look for something nearby. Often people will recommend having 2 providers one covered by DMCA and one covered by NTD to make content more available; but I've not really noticed a need.

Meh, switch to usenet. Download as much as you want, at max bandwidth 100% of the time, with 0 need for a vpn and no obligation to re-seed content for months on end.

May as well install a roulette wheel

We don't have an ICE equivalent hunting down and kidnapping people on the streets if that's what you're worried about.

Mainly it'll be very difficult to get work, you'll probably be homeless (which really really sucks in the snow...), and whenever the cops do catch up with you, you will be deported when they realize your status.

TBH, I don't know. It would depend on your specific situation; I doubt we're just broadly accepting Americans.

Dudes a retired vet; I can't imagine he's drowning in up-to-date classified info...

  • a single answer fits all the questions asked
  • answering one question will make the others irrelevant.
  • didn't realize there are multiple questions (usually down to formatting, or skimming a block of text)
  • the person's just in a hurry, at least answering one is better than ignoring entirely

It couldn't be any more blatant. Trump himself blasted out the insider trading info 3hrs before announcing the tariff reversal:

3hr later:

Sure, and that's something you can decide to do.

The point is there's a very big difference between deciding to leave the country permanently to a chosen destination, bringing what you can with you; vs leaving for a short holiday and suddenly being told what you thought was home won't let you return.

Worse; just because you're in Canada on a visitor's visa and the US decides it's doesn't want to let you back in, doesn't mean you'll just be turned around and accepted back into Canada (or wherever you're visiting) instead. You may just be detained by US authorities and deported to wherever they decide.

Not if you left all your family, friends, and assets behind (car, house, valuables, etc) with plans to return.

Now your stuck in a foreign country essentially seeking asylum unexpectedly.

It my be fine for some, but most people aren't prepared to suddenly uproot their entire lives with 0 warning or planning.

While I welcome tourists, I worry for them. Now doesn't seem like a good time to leave the US with plans to go back; you may just not be permitted to return, citizenship or not.
