LifestreamThe advent of NZB changed everything. I can see that now. And so did the SABnzbd client in many ways. I just love how there is a plugin or a script for SABnzbd everywhere. Or how it can run on almost any platform, even low-power NAS units. Below you can see a monitor running on [...]

Sounds kind of like the title of a really good movie that we all like to see. After having promptly downloaded it from Usenet of course. I’m not going to name any names here. Wouldn’t want to push my luck. But $96 for a year of premium Usenet access (many times faster than my maximum [...]
Following my recent connection problems and various other blunders I needed to catch up on downloads, badly. There was really only one recourse. Usenet. The only way to leech unrestricted, with a post retention rate of about two years for a good provider. The only downside obviously is that it is a premium service that [...]
I can’t say I’m having sleepless nights over what I download. On the contrary, there is nothing like the rush of seeing the gigabytes trickle down. Still, there are shades of grey in everything. The most obvious being the constant re-release of movies on new and higher resolution formats. A number of years ago I [...]
Wow. That sure sucked. A lot. At least if Crunchyroll gets their streaming deal, which is a definite possibility. Behold the future people, where crappy streaming sites like Crunchyroll try to take a bite out of fansubs and honest piracy. Yes I do know that there are several groups (like HorribleSubs) that specialize in ripping [...]
I had to get a backup private tracker in case things went south with TB. And browsing the forums over at the now defunct FL I found an invite thread for the much touted TL. That is the unfair advantage of being a member of the right trackers I guess. I have to say though [...]
Azureus says 3000 GB. Information wants to be free you know. And yes, it has been a slow couple of weeks as is evident from this wildly captivating commentary. 2000 GB on 2006/03/21 1000 GB on 2005/07/30
I’ve been completing my anime collection over the last couple of weeks and what strikes me is this … The groups surely have to be the most unprofessional sort I have ever come across. I say it’s well overdue to enforce some sort of scene rules for anime as well. I’m sick of varying resolutions, [...]
I ran across a little thing called “Vodei” the other day. It’s a nefarious “codec” — “Multimedia Processor” or video container more like it — which is used to encapsulate a video and audio stream in a proprietary format. What it does is effectively infect P2P networks with protected .avi files that require a non-standard [...]
The full series ought to be out on R1 DVD right about now (since Sep 26) with sub and dub and whatnot. A proper scene release should appear shortly. Anyway, I found this hilarious customer review over at Amazon … The problem I have with it is the fact that the story makes no sense [...]
