formally known as COVERS.TO
then known as COVERS.BOX.SK
Anyone know if they have a new home or just simply down this weekend?

Been a week -- not looking very promising.

Found that info for you(I Google it). ;)
Other forums(Afterdawn.com) (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/391653)
They do recommend a few link but it depends on what you are searching for(Movie, Music ....and resolution)
http://www.hirescovers.net charge 10 euro/year for Hirez covers. I do understand that because bandwith do cost. :(
And at 3MB a pop, it can add up at end of the month for the site. You should not expect somethings to be free. Just click 1 ad if you download something for free on any sites. That pays the bills. :D
What I use for my recorded movies is a program called Info 2 MIS(check my sites). Once setup, it will create a metadata file(title, description ....) for you and have the option to search the web for Cover pictures on a few sites. I often go to dvdempire.com because the picture are often front and back at an acceptable resolution for me. (ex. 629x450 for 96KB). It's not the 3MB files but that will do for me.

I just registered with http://www.hirescovers.net however after looking at their limited cover selection, it doesn't justify paying for it.
For example, under the letter "S", they only have 55 covers. I have 114 covers on my local computer.
Hopefully COVERS.BOX.SK finds a new life somewhere else, although as some have suggested, they sure would need a host that allows a lot of transfer at 2-3MB per cover downloaded !
