Are the good HD rips available to the Newsgroups?

Seems like I got work to do if I have to keep up then but I need a faster connection before I can ditch the rips. So far they are good enough for me though as long as I go for 1080p.

I have compared a few good 1080p rips to full BluRays on my 50" HDTV and picture wise I cannot tell which is witch.
Only reason to go for the full discs would be for the audio I would think

Because them 'good' 1080p are usually just remux's of the Full BD (Usually only one to two audio streams).

An encode is an encode and a remux is a remux. 2 different things. If it is x264 it is not a remux. Most remux's are clearly marked. And most 1080p releases are encodes.
