For ALL those who cant get an account on UKNova.
 
Its been mentioned in a couple of threads recently, but not really brought to the attention of the masses, there is a new site out there, just as good as UKNova, only without all the downtime. Myself and a couple of others are downloading stuff off UKN then uploading it straight to the new site, so if you cant get it on Nova you can get it on there instead.

The site is here: http://www.thebox.bz/main.php They have just over 7000 members, and are closing the doors at 40,000 but be warned there seem to be around 1000 new members every couple of days, so give it a month or so, and it will be full. Dive in now, before its too late.

i've used it for a few weeks now, it could do with a few more members to help with the seeding, i've found it a little slow in comparison to uknova

there was one file that I was trying to download for over a week without sucess so ended up getting it from UKN. Hopefully this will get better with the more members joining.

True, thats one of the reasons why I put it on here, the faster the new members join, the better it will be for everyone, and as Renth has said you can also get stuff off there that is not available on UKNova, so its well worth joining. For example parts 2 and 3 of the Victoria Wood travel doc are on there. (Nova wont have them on because the show is out on DVD later in the year) I have to tell you if you are interested in how slavery came about, then part 2 is a must watch. Although if you are English like me, prepare to hang your head in shame :o

Have you personally owned a slave?

It's a bit like asking Germans who were born after the war to be ashamed of Hitler.

Sorry about taking this off topic

Boom boom!

As a Homo Sapiens I feel deep personal guilt about what we did to the Neanderthals.
