Good, maybe this will force everyone to upload shit on a torrent site instead of a site where not only torrents are broken by default but the direct download speed is absolutely aids.

The problem is that groups like No-Intro keep updating things so you'd want to periodically update your sets. You're never really "done" with rom curating.

You can't trust anything on the internet to be there for the rest of your life, 5TB external HDDs go on sale very often and should be enough to store a gen 1-6 collection of games on it

That's why I said "at least," because from PS2 onwards the file sizes increase exponentially so it's not really worth archiving every variant.

It's worth it to me and they privated the batches with the newest lossless compression formats. I wish they would just fix their torrents instead of throwing a fit, there are many people willing to seed.

Not the guy you replied to, but I just check every few months and see if anyone has released newer packs than what I already have. All the "good" stuff is already in the old packs so the most I'm missing out on are the occasional betas/alphas.

Because it's all crumbling, you know for a fact that if a bunch of stuff goes down today it won't just stop going down tomorrow. They'll keep taking shit down. Archive is dead. Have fun finding obscure 6th gen shit like old licensed games or Xbox now.
