Just yesterday, I wanted to play Poker Night 2, but because of a license issue, it’s been removed everywhere.
At least the Internet Archive has it, but from this year’s removed books, it seems losing anything else is a possibility too. : /
A good example of how something as recent as 2012 can be lost
+1 for that, but it’s a shame they don’t have individual torrents. I understand why, but manually going to the site and searching for things is a pain. I’m used to just using qBitTorrent’s built in search, and automatically polling a dozen different torrent tracker sites.
Or these days, I just add the media to my Readarr server, and it handles everything (including getting it imported to Calibre automatically) for me.
You have to enable it in the settings and install add-ons for the individual trackers… But yes. The entire process is very easy to set up, with the search setup page linking directly to where you can download the various add-ons for import.
It gives you a Search tab, which will poll the various trackers and return the results, along with seed count, peer count, age, etc… You can also filter to specific trackers, if you have some you prefer over others. Then you can open the magnet link directly in qBT for download.
only shadow archives are real archives. anything subservient to the law is compromised, and WILL be destroyed eventually, probably with no notice. do not rely on it for anything that will ever matter to you.

Thank bingus for Anna’s Archive
And thank you for making people who have not heard of Anna’s Archive (including myself) aware

Qbittorrent has built in search?

Kind of related, kind of not.
As an aging millennial, I miss the WinMX and DC++ days.
Apparently you can still get WinMX (all my homies called it win mix), but I don’t know how useful it would be today.
I still have the first MP3 I downloaded from WinMix! The House Is Rockin - Stevie Ray Vaughan. Good times :)
Thank you very much
