    oh, I heard of these.

    They are made of brick and mortar and you can walk inside and they put all these music and movies on discs.

    Crazy concept if you ask me.

    Kinda backwards.

    cave? what cave? you said it's perma-down, when in fact it isn't....

    not to mention the company that is trying to buy TPB is bankrupt.

    now, TPB's future might be bleek, but as of now, it's alive.

    All the info you need to know. It's a bit outdated, but will tell you how to set everything up without being needlessly complicated.

    Still have to pay though, but for $13 a month it is so worth it just for the convenience alone.

    Astraweb is $11 a month with very good retention.

    *has astraweb as well*

    I included the cost of newzbin, which I think is the best news retention site, but requires $2 a month to subscribe.
