Explosions in London

I posted a brief status update during the July 7, 2005 London bombings to confirm my safety as reports of explosions emerged. The discussion quickly shifted to community members sharing resources for free e-books and BitTorrent clients.

S Anand 8 Jul 2005 5:44 am: Guys, what link are you talking about!?
Anonymous Hero 8 Jul 2005 7:22 am: I am using Firefox but the link is not working Ram. Can you tell me how it worked for you?
S Anand 8 Jul 2005 8:47 am: If this is a hoax on me, it is the best I have seen so far!
Anonymous Hero 8 Jul 2005 10:12 am: From my side, yes… I saw the other two comments and thought to myself, “Mate, that looks like a nice way to pull a fast one on Anand’ :-)
S Anand 8 Jul 2005 10:59 am: Well, seems like a day of hoaxes. I got a mail from a colleague in Finance asking me not to reclaim VAT. I never even tried!
Ram 9 Jul 2005 3:44 pm: From where can we get Free e-books ? If anyone knows please post it here or mail me
Dhar 10 Jul 2005 1:58 am: Depends on what kind of e-books you are looking for. If you want novels, you could check out http://www.greylib.align.ru/
S Anand 10 Jul 2005 11:38 am: The torrent network has plenty. Try the BitLord client.
Dhar 11 Jul 2005 3:46 pm: And the sites: torrentspy.com and thepiratebay.org/. What I like the most about thepiratebay is their response to legal threats (http://thepiratebay.org/legal.php)
Anonymous 12 Jul 2005 9:41 am: guess the link that was mentioned corresponds to the june 17th entry at http://www.geocities.com/root_node/articles/London_2005.html and mirc is a good place for ebooks.
S Anand 12 Jul 2005 11:04 am: Oh, OK.
