Raider of the Newsgroup archives

Sorry about the corny title, I just needed to grab at one persons attention.

After a long gap in my fan film collecting I'm finally back. Trouble is, it appears that direct downloads are gone, torrents are almost non-existent, not to mention never seeded. The only way to get "stuff" seems to be these newsgroups everyone keeps talking about.

I'm completely baffled by it all and wondered if some of you guys that use them could point me in the direction of what is needed, and recommend some programs/sites to look at.

I gather that none of this is available for free, is that right?

I have googled around for guides but it all seems very complex and my head is beginning to hurt :)

fanedit.info

Some are only available on newsgroups but most can be downloaded with jdownloader. If you want a specific Star Wars fanedit that is not available you could try asking TV's Frink in this thread:

Thanks for your help doubleKO.

One thing I have been looking for is lossless transfers of the Star Wars story LP's. I keep seeing them mentioned in forums but can't seem to find any copies, I have mp3s but really want to get these at the very highest quality as they are childhood holy grails for me :)

Don't suppose you can point me in the right direction?

P.S.

Is myspleen not used so much anymore?  I only ask as a lot of the Star Wars stuff seems to be unseeded.

First rule of ***wsgroups is that you dont mention new*groups. Second rule of n*w*s*r*u*s is that you dont mention...........(you get the idea).

Fuck, when did the netz become so mainstream?

Sorry mate, wasn't aware it was so underground :)

The mods can delete this if they need to but a PM with some info on "hush hush" would be cool :)
