Just last night I once again visited the Top 100 Sci-Fi List of Books and checked their list for any new books that moved up and their Major Series list to decided on what I will be reading next on my month long visit in Europe. After that I hit Google to look for eBook torrents for the books and series that I am interested in and I came across this Top 100 Sci-Fi Books Torrent with most of the books from the list and many of them as complete series.

The books are in Microsoft Reader's LIT format so if you have a compatible PDA device that you use for reading then you're set or you can always convert them out to HTML with Covert Lit utility (GNU licensed and open source to boot) that runs on a number of OS's and takes care of the work. Also I would recommend the Haali Reader for Pocket PC platform if you want a good full featured reader that can read text files directly inside .zip files without uncompressing and it saves your place in many books even on phone resets in case you have a PDA type phone that you can read on like I do.

I am exactly in the same boat as you, I also read the Hyperion Cantos but I couldn't get through the first book the first three times I tried to read, because the story lines were so diluted and all-over-the-place, that if it wasn't for the single story about the village of people and the Crucifix of Resurrection I would have dropped this book like a stone and missed out on the rest of the great series. That first books almost soured me to the Top 100 Sci-Fi List because it was one of the books there that was highly recommended, and there should be a warning placed on it.

Also, I personally prefer to read books as eBooks but I also like to own the best ones as mass print paperbacks so I usually buy them en mass as complete series from Barnes & Nobel since they seem to be a less sleazy company than Amazon. Also, just as a reminder don't bother with the Amazon Kindle eBook reader since you can't put your books on it without uploading them to Amazon and anything you buy to put on the reader is only licensed to you and you do not own the books you buy.

Writing up a reply to this question makes me look at all the books on my shelf with fond memories of the adventures that I read about. If you haven't already read these then check out the Dune series for deep sci-fi, and the Dune prequel books by Herbert's son if you like lighter fiction in the same universe, Ender's Game series, Vorkosigan Saga for action packed episodic sci-fi, and the other series mentioned in the links above.

Enjoy your reading.

This torrent seems legit. Haven't used it myself but it seemed to come from a reputable source. If it doesn't work there's lots of others out there. Good luck.

direct link to the torrent

torrent here, if anybody is interested

Currently downloading from here . Lots of product information on the page also.

I put up a torrent that will let you run this standalone without installing, as well as run on x64 versions of windows and as far as I know vista. Instructions are included to do it yourself if you don't trust my distro. (=

I ripped these older Presidential debates from various websites. It was a pain to get them. Dowload the torrent here or here or here

• 1960: JFK vs Nixon first TV debate (4 debates, only 1st one in total)
  
  
• 1976: Ford vs Carter (Johnson didn't debate Goldwater in '64, Humphrey didn't debate Nixon in '68, Nixon didn't debate McGovern in '72)
  
  
• 1980: Carter vs Reagan
  
  
• 1984: Reagan vs Mondale
  
  

Low quality Real Video files ripped from streamings from the web.

If you have other debates, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, Presidential and/or VP, or higher-quality of the above, PLEASE POST!

Denying what's actually the truth really gets you nowhere, and yes most P2P-nets are currently used almost exclusivly for warez.
...
With the exception being BitTorrent.
...
Going on a random P2P-net, requirering you to specificly start a P2P-app and then searching for stuff, filtering the trash, makes it less usefull for legeitemate purposes.
