Subtitles, the lack thereof

I have to watch TV series in English without subtitles. addic7ed.com has been down for several days now and there's no telling when it'll come back up, and I haven't found any alternative resources :( I watch the HDTV 720p versions, but most resources put up subtitles for the standard 350 MB rips, and on notabenid.com they translate exactly those versions too. Not only does the group translation leave a lot to be desired, but in some cases you also have to struggle with synchronization, so all that's left is to watch the original — good thing about 80-95 percent is understandable.

tvsubtitles.net is down from time to time too, but for me that's not a problem, since 720p versions of the subs were rarely there, the files themselves were in archives, which made it harder to save them and copy them onto an external drive for watching on the TV, and on top of that the site would incorrectly append a link to itself at the end of the subtitles, which meant the TV's hardware player couldn't see them.

I'd never have known I understand the language so well :) Too bad it still doesn't apply to "House" — even with Russian subtitles I can't understand part of it.
