It should be banned. Same for all the social networks. They are cancer.

You can use any torrent client with search included. For example: qbittorrent, frostwire, etc...

Anyway check FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH! https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide#torrent-sites

usenet is decentralized at server level. In theory all the servers have the same content. Currently everything is obfuscated because of the take downs - so you need an indexer (the users upload the nzbs to that website. Think of a nzb like a .torrent file.)

violence is the supreme law of man. People get confused with violence monopoly. Violence monopoly is good, otherwise it's the law of the jungle.

I have ports forwarded locally to deal with my router, that doesn’t apply to my ISP down the line.

So you are under CGNAT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

From the wikipedia link:

Carrier-grade NAT usually prevents the ISP customers from using port forwarding, because the network address translation (NAT) is usually implemented by mapping ports of the NAT devices in the network to other ports in the external interface. This is done so the router will be able to map the responses to the correct device; in carrier-grade NAT networks, even though the router at the consumer end might be configured for port forwarding, the "master router" of the ISP, which runs the CGN, will block this port forwarding because the actual port would not be the port configured by the consumer.[7] In order to overcome the former disadvantage, the Port Control Protocol (PCP) has been standardized in the RFC 6887.

You will only be able to upload to someone with a public ip address or with UDP hole punch (but there are some technicalities - and doesn't work in all the cases). The same will happen if you use torrents. Maybe you don't notice difference because of the sheer amount of people using seedboxes and vpn.

started to be marketed at everyone

The equivalent for men is the qamis, however you don't see them using it. Just this tells everything you need to know about the abaya.

Good! The rules are for everybody. Freedom from religion!

There are bouncers for that. And better yet there are search engines, so you don't need to stay all the time so you don't miss content.

MUD is more like IRC-

MUD is basically a talker with a game.

There's nothing like IRC+... Maybe, but just maybe, XMPP?

Sorry, i didn't get the joke.

IRC is nice if there aren't many people. Otherwise you get stuck in queue for downloading the file. That's my biggest issue with it. I only use it as last resort.

Just a heads up, You won't be able to use retroshare if you are under CGNAT - at least i wasn't able to .

here you have gtk-gnutella screenshots:

Btw, gnutella died (it will never die because of the way it works, but it's a shell of what it was) because of the fake files (the DHT and magnet links appeared to late - with this the downloads can be curated), and because of the clients implementations. This last one was the gnutella downfall - There's the open protocol and then each client started to implement their own features making and giving priority in the connections between them, making almost subnetworks - kinda the same that happened with XMPP.

BTW 2, those slides are not up to date. The gnutella search as it is described in those slides are for gnutella 0.4. The protocol is now in version 0.6 (and probably won't be updated anymore) and it has now supernodes - kinda lika kazaa. Gnutella (mojito), emule (KAD) and bittorrent have DHT.
