I still can’t wrap my head around Usenet. Can someone please it to me by comparing it with torrent?

Usenet and torrent are completely different.
Usenet was the web before the web existed. A bit like a cross between email and reddit.
Interests are split up into newsgroups, which are a bit like subreddits. On the other hand, you can sign up with many different providers, like email.

Torrent, on the other hand, is a way to download things. But instead of downloading the regular way, you download from other users, then when you have downloaded data, others can download from you.
This has the effect that the more people torrenting something, the more bandwidth there is to download it.
