Retention for 90%+ of providers is at least 4500 days for binary files and 110000 days for newsgroups. Have two providers, one monthly and one block, that run on different backbones with one that takes down for dmca and one that doesn’t and you’ll be fine. There are very very very few shows or movies that you can’t get. Don’t have to worry about VPN, ratios, trackers or any of that other crap.
Torrents persist until all seeders disappear for good, which is rare on private trackers. On usenet generally content is uploaded ASAP upon release and then only lasts as long as rentention. Maybe you’ll get rereleases on usenet but it didn’t seem to be a common occurance
What goes missing?
YouI don’t know how Usenet works.Edit: edited to say I don’t know instead of you.
The files are not stored indefinitely, retention is based on the provider

That’s cool, retention a lot better now than like 10 or 20 years ago
So movies from 2011 and before can not be found?
Thanks! And sorry, I meant to say that I don’t know how Usenet works, not you.
Follow-up question. Why is retention so important? Wouldn’t they get reuploaded again? Or is it mainly a problem for more obscure content.
