    Usenet is becoming more and more complex. Some indexing sites showed it, some not. Some raw searches show, others don't. I never heard of the group until recently.

    .

    And, of course, neither are p0rn (okay, some may classify that a bit differently), pro-wrestling, or low-rent network comedy (again, some may classify them differently!).
    Can this guy go more than two posts without mentioning his dislike of "pro rasslin?" I don't care for it either, but Beck must be on some kind of a crusade.

    Yep, a crusade against mafia (yes, the real one, complete with Italian and Israeli surnames) as evidenced by the folks with extensive political and monied interests in the northeastern states of the US (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, eastern Pennsylvania), and who started (with their mobbed up law firms) and continue the current jihad.

    It's easy to see from the other end of the continent. It's simply such a low bar of 'entertainment' it's always good for a bellyful of laughs that anyone over the age of 5 or 6 pays it any attention. But the folks running it need to eventually be brought to the bar of justice (i.e., have their own wing in the latest super-max).

    Nope. They are both 'too new' (less than 30 days since Bluray release as of today) and a quick check on the good search sites show that there are a couple of the 'usual' encrypted euros trying to make money off them, but it's a bit too soon for any of the better uploaders (either full bd or most of the re-encoders) to get to either of them, although there are a couple that already have done 'quick jobs'.

    And, of course, neither are p0rn (okay, some may classify that a bit differently), pro-wrestling, or low-rent network comedy (again, some may classify them differently!).

    Add to that, Jack Reacher is an 'exclusive' title at Best Buy and Target (according to some info I have) so it's availability may be at this point a bit limited.

    Again, WAIT for the good stuff. Their is already tons of the usual xvid and other 'low rent' rips and recodes of both, and as sure as they hit the maximum showings on the pay movie channels, their will be more.

    Instantly saying that they will be DMCA'd is simply not true, they aren't in one of the categories I mentioned, and the 'qucikie' jobs haven't been that I can tell.
    I dled the Last Stand weeks ago. One of the posts was DCMA'd btw.

    It seems as if binsearch has stopped indexing a.b.hdtv.x264 which is not a good sign. Any other obvious ones falling off the list?
    Just like the NSA, I'm compelled to copy everything I want to.

    Are you sure? I can still browse the group, and valid queries do return hits.

    No, I was evidently full of shit, they've promoted it to their primary server pool and my lazy arse didn't check that before I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

    No longer works, but

    Works just fine.

    Binsearch always has been a bit odd in the way they've split their database into 'popular' and 'others' groupings.

    Several folks/groups of folks are thinking they can avoid DMCA's by starting up new groups with weird names, but what it really does is 'hide' their postings from the search engines, until they 'add' that group to their schema; it may depend on how that is added, either automatically or manually.

    Which is all why it's always a good idea, when searching for something, that one uses several index sites and not rely on just one or two.

    Heh. I do that kind of thing all the time. I think it's congenital...

    a.b.e-book.technical is going to 'dry up' as it were, while rockhound takes a (hopefully) short hiatus. I'm sure his/her acolytes will more than handle reposts until that time. Only real drama as of late.
