I only share binaries in two News Groups, but not so frequently these 
days. Those are usually JPEG image files in 
alt.binaries.pictures.aviation and alt.binaries.photos.original. I 
don't download binaries from Usenet, and I don't use BitTorrent. I will 
view images posted in those binary groups.

In non-binary groups I share image files and some m4v files via Dropbox 
or Adobe CC links. Like this:
