Ever hate the feeling when you spend hours searching for something and get no where?
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
It's especially rough when you remember seeing it on the internet before and even had it yourself at one point. There are/were a bunch of music artists I discovered at both the old eMusic and the music section of old download.com, but those collections weren't archived anywhere in any meaningful way when the sites changed. It took me years to finally locate what I was after. It's just so draining to know that something used to easily and freely available and to not be able to find it no matter how hard to dig.
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
Exactly, like the one EP was given away for FREE by a well liked artist by a large brand(Blu Jemz - Scion Radio Host Night People EP) but no where to be found
No Life King (1991), Geylang(2022), and one of the more attainable personals grails is the EP by Blu Jemz that Scion put out as part of their Scion Radio Host EP series called Night People
There are dl links are behind a password, but the main page has it embedded for watching from the site or you can probably use a tube downloader to snatch it.
A lot of french dubs of cartoon /anime are now lost media. A small team of dedicated fans have been looking for the french dub of Keroro Gunso for years and despite being really famous when it aired it's nowhere to be found . A second Exemple is the cartoon network chowder which seems to have vanished from earth like it never existed.
I still haven't had luck finding for the Wheel Squad cartoon, I want to rewatch it because I remember one scene that seemed pretty eerie to me as a youngling.
Oh yeah, this is a nice source, and actually I think they got it from Amazon French version but I think it is not complete and well, it is on french, I know it would be impossible to find it on latin Spanish as it is the version I watched, but even English would be fine for this rare case.
I actually did not try rutracker, it’s failed me a lot in the past, but I’ll give it a go here in a while, thanks! I posted these in another comment with more context but: Geylang, No Life King, and Blu Jemz - Scion Radio Host EP Night People
What is DC++? I’ve used IRC for books, but last I saw about movies was that it didn’t have older stuff, but also I never saw which channels were good for Movies, Shows, and Music
