I have found all of them online except the one for the 931. That's the only one I need.

If anybody knows a working link for the 931 manual send me a PM.

Bittorrent and uploading are NOT illegal.

It is the distribution of copyrighted material that is against the law when done without the rights holders permission.

Therefore it is only if the original copyright owner or their agent enforces the copyright that the police may get involved. This however depends on the country you live ins laws. In Germany for example copyright breach is a criminal offence. In the UK it is a civil matter.

In the instance of the service manuals, the fact that they are such a niche market, are not available for sale, and are for now obsolete and generally unsupported cars, I feel Porsche may have a difficult time proving any material loss through their distribution.

If you are planning to use Bittorrent to source the latest Hollywood film, you may want to do your research first and make sure you know the risks. I would suggest it's easier to just wait a year and buy up old stock or second hand discs off retailers/Ebay.

Porsche is notorious for aggressively protecting their intellectual property, including factory service manuals. Peter (our admin) has expressed harsh consequences in the past for those violating Porsche copyrights via this forum. As I recall, his reason was that this is not attention we want to bring to our little community, which is provided to all of us at no charge. Suggest we put a lid on this conversation now.

Don't you guys ever wonder why you'll come across very little
P-brand material at classic/youngtimer car shows?
…
…That is no coincidence!

Good day all. My cd just arrived and IMHO this is great!!

It covers 924,924s and turbo,944 and turbo 928 and 968!!It also has 8 pages of history,parts catologes for all the cars.Now i havent been able to go over it completly,but from what i have looked at this blows haynes outa the water!!Having a Haynes cat.beside your car is good but this is much better.It does look as if its a orginal porsche cat. The guy is in Australia and his Evil bay name is kelsrepairshop.i would have no issues buying off this guy again.it looks as if it covers 924 back to 79.this could be an issue with the older ones, but im sure with some thought you could get by with this vast amount of info thats on the cd.$14.00 bucks plus $4.00 ship to Cehnehdeh!!LOL
