Yeah, it sucks. Spent the evening trying to find two foreign movies. One I couldn’t find anywhere(DDL, public trackers, and a private tracker) and the other I did find but locked behind a paid account for a ddl that I’m not sure is even legit. Combined with an EP I’ve had set on SS for years and combed everywhere. This is why preservation is important y’all

    we joke about nothing disappearing from the internet, here is a perfect example of that not being the case.

    i have a short list of files ive been attempting to get higher res versions of, but every time i go and look, the resources get fewer, even for those bad res copies, if they are still there at all.

    i once had to buy a disk off … ebay. that was a low day.

      I’ve had to do it before myself, a few times. I always justify it by ripping the movie, cd, tape, etc and posting it up somewhere. Feels more like I’m doing my part that way
