thought i found this on isohunt earlier, but it turned out to be a frakking
170mb ad. i\'ll just stick with eztv, hoping that the releases are a bit quicker! 😉
i found ds at demonoid.com last night in .mpg format. for the last month or so i
have been finding ds there or at mininova. still very late but sooner than eztv.
i was the one who repported it was available at isohunt. so again sorry! i have
a slow connection and others found out it was fake before i did.
but really it needs to be posted quicker. i don't waht to do for this. i am
overseas and it is really bad when it is coming in for us 2 days late. ds jokes
are about the days events and often events have changed so the jokes aren't so
funny or the commentary so sharp.....
alt.binaries.multimedia.comedy on usenet has a user jimmy who does those mpg
releases.
he's apparently pretty fast & does them routinely. tonights(tues) is already up
there.
problem is no one makes 'em into torrents till people who know with usenet
access wake up in the us, so they come out really late.
i went to the website if it is a dot com at the end of the partial link u provided
i just get a message of coming soon
and some links to itunes store, crag's list....
u have a more specific address? just drop "http://www." ; and it should publish
yes that's what i thought i have seen adverts for the pay services but i think
it is mostly bs and is just charging for what is already widely available at
other websites for free.
you'd be surprised how many of the torrents you download were originally sourced
from usenet. and there's really one reason to get binaries newsgroups: speed.
they almost always get things faster, and if you're on a (very rare) good isp or
a pay service the speeds tend to be as fast as your connection can handle,
without any uploading. there's also obscurity, in that the sheer daily bulk of
content contains some gems that really won't show up anywhere else.
newsgroups are still 'free', and most of the regular ones are just plain text
discussion, viewable on google groups. as time has gone by and with the rise of
the web and isps trying to cut costs (and piracy), the small percentage of
people who were using nntp servers vs the high bandwidth meant it was one of the
first things to go. funny, because in the 80s-early 90s, people bought dialup
internet access with newsgroups in mind.
