RetroPDFs - OCR'd Speccy mags and more

Hi all,

Just to plug my own site a little bit: RetroPDFs has fully OCR'd PDFs of lots of Speccy mags, along with some for lesser formats :) Having them OCR'd makes local searching quick and easy (especially with an OS that does full-text indexing across files, for example Spotlight on the Mac).

There's more stuff being added all the time, so take a look if you're a secret mag-hoarder like me. All comments/feedback welcome.

Cheers

Ken

    Nice! Too bad there are not enough seeds to get decent download speeds.

    Haven't checked these in a while, but just wanted to thank once again for all your work.

    If we could host these somewhere...

    I've got them seeded from a 100Mbit datacentre link - but I can only "borrow" the bandwidth overnight (UK time). If you can, try leaving the downloads running for a day or so - even the biggest torrent shouldn't take too long to grab. PM me if you're still having problems.

    You're welcome; I know some of the collections have been hosted on Rapidshare and other services - please feel free to redistribute/host as you see fit.
