This site is closing down, is it possible to archive it? It's 390 TB. A lot of pre-2000 videogames, scans etc... .

I'll miss this site a lot. I hate reality. The owner guy could at least make a torrent of all of the content or something.

>390 TB
Hmm. Or maybe not. Was it really that big? That sucks even more.

he obviously should've made a torrent by console since it's the end (no more updates). people would at least seed the games they have, which would ease his bandwidth issues and would be faster. you'd also know what's not being archived by other people.

Sites like this should die, Same with private trackers and same with whatever fucking discords people hide in now a days. These things all do more to harm data preservation than keep it. People just assume that whatever site they are using will be there for ever

>What happens when whatever twat decides to shut his servers down your sekret little private tracker faggot club goes up in flames. Oh your hard drive crashed? Good look finding that torrent file
