It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

If you're going to go to all that trouble, you may as well download
bittorrents and save yourself a lot of hassle and grief.

There are indeed some good torrents out there every now and then.
Problem is, you never know *when* they'll be there. On the right IRC
channel, all the common stuff is there pretty much all the time, and
the less common stuff can be found. That's where a lot of the content
of this newsgroup comes from. And, to be fair, a lot goes the other
way too. :)

That would be in the binaries section, which telus has removed from their
server. So you can either go with another ISP or sign up with a premium
usenet server or dl w/ BT or something similar. Crappy, but at least
premium servers have better completion.

Definitely bittorrent would be the place to go, Demonoid has several
torrents but I bet you can find things on any other tracker. I have never
seen the books on IRC however, does anyone know of networks/channels to get
them from there? Thanks
