Does anyone have access to newsgroup binaries?

Commodore User, which is one of the more interesting magazines from the Plus/4 point of view has been posted on alt.binaries.emulators.cbm, a little over a month ago. See here: http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/magazines.htm, scroll down to Commodore User. There's no torrent yet. If anyone could grab them... let me know

Hi Csabo,

Both myself an Sixteen Plus have had access to these for a while now. You should see the efforts he took to put all the C16/Plus 4 reviews together into two PDF's. Have a peek at http://www.commodore16.com/index.php/commodore-user-reviews-sixteen-plus.html

Most magazines are available here http://www.zzap64.co.uk

Chris.

Re: Does anyone have access to newsgroup binaries?

I have seen it. Back in '04 you choose to start your own site and your own magazines collection, instead of contributing to Plus/4 World, and I respect that. I grab everything else from the net that I can, but I don't grab your stuff.

My post was specifically about Commodore User. The link to the zzap site has been posted on the forum before, but they only have 4 issues up, the rest you have to buy on DVD. (I'm not quite sure how legal it is to sell that, do they really own the copyright, or is it public domain? But of course questioning stuff like that would be the pot calling the kettle black

) AFAIK, the full Commodore User scans are not up anywhere (yet). A torrent would be nice, but until then, maybe someone has access to those binaries. Anyone?

I just installed some old newsreader software I used to use but the news servers I have tried have all let these posts expire on them. If anyone can point me to a NNTP server that still holds them I will grab them.

I tried too, but any PDF has to be split in too many slices, then the server automatically purge several previously published stuff, barely keeping the last ones

Ok, those torrents are under refreshing day by day, and this is the thread to check at Lemon64.
