While not for everyone, Believe it or Not, Usenet groups are making a big comeback. They have found new life as a place for mostly pirated movie & TV content and, of course, all the old weird discussions boards that were a bit too odd to find a place in the modern web world.
There is new software that combines bookmarking web links to automate the downloading of the once confusing, multiple file pieces and combine them together into a usable file. However, if you don't have a basic understanding of the old Usenet world, then it is tricky to explain how to set up. However, once you set it up... multiple, non-educated, users from multiple PCs, netbooks, etc. on your LAN can all bookmark their own stuff to get automatically downloaded to your library, which is kind of neat.
However, I'm not supposed to encourage such things so you didn't hear it from me and you can look up the software yourselves.
As always, be careful for viruses and trojans.
