Magazine PDF Download Directories?
June 8, 2006 8:18 AM   Subscribe

I found a website recently that allowed me to download full .pdf's of popular magazines. These included the obligatory FHM and Playboy, but the other interesting Design stuff caught my eye as well. Now this website is nowhere to be found. Legality aside, can you help?

A couple I use (which I won't post links of here) are still up - although one has a message up that says it's currently 'down for maintence'.

You can find them often pop up on del.icio.us under the popular/free tag.

There are quite a few of these sites popping up as of recently.

This one that I saw earlier looks to be down for repair.

Think this is a torrent site.

should I not have posted this here? Wasn't trying to break metafilter TOS or anything. I just found it via a digg and delicious search.

I don't think magazine publishers would care about a site like this as long as you can downlaod the entire magazine with the ads intact. Magazines publishers make their money from advertsing they sell, the cover price just barely covers printing cost.
