Re: Easynews Speedup! Doh!
Excuse my ignorance on this guys

Are you saying that Easynews decode the base 7 NNTP files so you are downloading pure binaries without the need to decode them back to base 8, and that they have a searchable index of the decoded binaries?

I'm curious as they'd need to either decode them on the fly or have double the storage, and it's a bit shaky legally if they are not only storing but indexing the binaries in a human-readable format.

EDIT: Never mind I just checked on it on the website. Here's hoping the RIAA/MPAA et al don't go after them, they would be shut down quicker than you could say 'omfgwtfbbq' the services they offer blow the 'common carrier' defense out of the window a bit
