Ok, Lego does its own job of hosting instructions at:
http://www.lego.com/eng/buildinginstructions/
If TLG was funding BrickShelf, I can see why they would drop this duplicate
expense.
My questions are:
What instructions on BrickShelf are not duplicates of the TLG ones?
Is TLG committed to keeping theirs online?
Can peeron.com legally link to lego.com pdf's instead?
Did someone have a BitTorrent to download these? As it is 8+ gig would it be
broken down by product year?
Thanks,
Andy Cross

| I started downloading the instructions back in 1999. Whenever something new became available, I would download it. Slow and steady. Easy like Sunday mornin'. I doubt this bothered Kevin :) Along the way, I would replace brickshelf scans with better (...) (19 years ago, 29-May-05, to lugnet.general)
