I happened to notice it during the short time it showed up on mcs.  I
wasn't surprised when it went away.  It was about 80% stolen commercial
software, 1% shareware.  The rest was a mix of complaints about the
bandwidth wasted by the shareware programs you could get elsewhere and
arguments about why it shouldn't matter that posting copyrighted material
is illegal.  That part was sort of amusing, at least.
