Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites

      Correct. And Isaid if everyone just downloads the same 20% of the torrent because the other 80% is shovelware and unpopular means it’s lost because nobody downloaded the remaining 80% in the first place.

          Assuming those come to the rescue amd quick enough before the last one abandons the seed without looking if someone is leeching the last part to make a 100% completion possible.

          Look mate. We all know every once in a while a torrent dies or will be incomplete for ever. Theres no denying that.
