Sadly, Filerush has kicked the bucket. That was my premium place to get new game demos and trailers via torrent downloads. Where will I get that stuff now? Filerush had a nice, minimalistic stuff of new items without any intrusive ads. I don’t want to wade through crappy ads and uninteresting articles to get to the good stuff.
