Just read this at popularairsoft.com:
This is great news to all airsofters out there. The Philippine's premier airsoft magazine, Airsoft Xtreme, is now making available all their issues FREE for download. You get the same quality content as you would expect in their print version. Now this is really a great service to all of us. The downloadable issues are available in PDF format. But if you want their great looking photos, you can just buy their print edition at your favourite airsoft retailer. Surely, a great service coming from a respected airsoft magazine.

Oh well. Been trying to download the files, and rapidshare won't allow you consecutive downloads.....grrrr... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Checking the site again to try to attempt and download the rest of the copies... http://www.airsoftxtreme.net/ Bandwidth Limit Exceeded The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.airsoftxtreme.net Port 80 Augh...I have enough of this marketing gimickry! When they post something to download, they must ensure that they have enough bandwidth to handle the traffic. Or are they going crash and burn as they are offering free downloads as readership is way way down? No more money for bandwidth I suppose (even printing and distribution as I heard from other forums), by the looks of it. Sorry mates for posting this thread...makes me want to delete this thread for this disappointing service. I'd not touch a copy of their magazine with even a ten-foot pole now.

Well..i don't care really if they have a mirror or not now.
Just makes me wonder, why go for a free download of all the issues of the magazine when they have a print business to protect? Must be readership and sales are down that they have to give these freebies to entice more readers. Btw....they just killed their print business with this. As they always say in business "lowering prices to survive is a poor strategy", what more of a free thing, that'll kill it outright. I'm sticking to Airsoft International for Print, and the new PopularAirsoft magazine for the PDF as they're much better than the rest of the pack. Both of them would be more than enough.

Thornade: The answer is very simple. The more readers, the more they can charge for their ads.
