Many people say the search function on Google Groups is terrible (ironic, I know). I don't use it much myself, but I've recently found out about Narkive, which is pretty darn nice.

As a Catholic, I'm definitely biased. I don't see the Vatican/Catholic Church as a whole ever 'dissolving'. The Catholic Church is one of the longest-living religious institutions, and it has endured a lot, which even Albert Einstein attested to. You post as if the Catholic Church is some scientific institution; it isn't. The Catholic Church doesn't 'endorse' evolutionary theory, but it has stated that evolution doesn't contradict Church teachings (paragraph 36) . The only good thing the Vatican simply refuses to endorse is web design; it is completely horrendous!

This is one of the direct reasons I converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. Thought I believe the denomination and religion I am in to be correct, even if it were to be not right, the fact that (most) of the priests are genuine comforts me.

Well, at least text-based Usenet is still (mostly) free. Eternal-September.org is pretty nice. DMOZ also hosts a list of public Usenet servers

I've never tried Deluge before, but I heard it's nice! I prefer rTorrent and Transmission, though, because they're programmed in C/C++/Objective C. Compiled software is usually faster than interpreted.
I didn't mention in my post before another great method of downloading things: Usenet. Usenet was the Internet before the modern Internet became public. A pretty long time ago, Usenet was only used as a way of communication, like the professional predecessor to the modern Internet 'ARPANET'. It was used as a BBS (Bulletin Board System) , and you could say that all Internet forums emerged from this network. Now, though, Usenet is mostly used for downloading binary files, similar to BitTorrent. This works by using NZB files, which are XML-based files that work by pointing your Usenet client to where to download multi-part files from your Usenet provider. Usenet providers are similar to Internet service providers;Usenet providers provide access to Usenet. They also store files that NZB's point to. Similar to BitTorrent, NZB's don't download a one file; they retrieve small, multiple files, and then bring them back together. BitTorrent is peer-to-peer; the speed of your downloads depend on others. On Usenet, you connect straight to the provider. The speed depends on your bandwidth and simultaneous connections. All Usenet providers have a limited amount of simultaneous connections, and downloads are faster the more connections you have. It works by downloading the same file (split into pieces) at different connections to make the speed faster. This also bypasses some ISP limits. You do have to pay a subscription for Usenet just like ISP's, though. Some Usenet providers are, of course, better than others. The best provider to pick is the one with the greatest all-around combination of retention (how long the provider stores binary and text), speed, connections,amount of data to be downloaded a month (usually unlimited) , and encryption. If you're interested, I'd recommen...

Although I disagree with some articles, I think the author is very great at writing and influencing; his words are simple, yet concise.

...God dangit, man! People think I'm weird because I only use BitTorrent to download files (like Linux image files) faster, instead of movies n' stuff. Also, be sure to not use uTorrent; it comes with adware. rTorrent and Transmission seem to be the best all-around clients.

I'm the exact same way with the site-hopping. I still go on reddit a lot for content. Snapzu will eventually be my #1 source when it gets more popular!

Very interesting information! I can see it, too. Dreams are a human's natural expression of so many images, ideas, emotions, and sensations. I wouldn't be surprised if this or something related to it directly influenced the creation of film.

Welcome to Snapzu, /u/sugartoad ! I went through almost exactly the same site-hopping you did. I went to Voat, Hubski, and 3tags. I found that none of them cut it; it seemed like most of the 'reddit alternatives' were just trying to rip-off reddit. Snapzu has its own feel to it. The platform is pretty flexible; it could be something like reddit or something like Facebook. It just depends on how you use it. I think that's great.

Welcome, Kigurame! I, too, came from reddit. Snapzu has great potential, and I can see it easily exceeding reddit the more popular it gets. I just hope it doesn't get too popular. I've noticed that community-based websites don't go along to well with high popularity. The popularity sometimes makes it commercial and impersonal. It happened to Digg, and it happened to reddit, but I honestly don't see it happening to Snapzu. Anyway, Kigurame, I know you'll enjoy this website!
