Yeah, we know that being “illegal” puts us in a bad light, perhaps we can embrace it. And apologies for the bad impression! This is the first time we want something as big as the lair, and we know that messing it up would ruin the movement. :)
Genesis 41:52
The second son he named Ephraim and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”

We have to admit, a private torrent tracker would be more efficient to prevent leeching. And using a torrent client to download a 2MB ROM is extreme, so perhaps including a “playable” 1G1R version would help for those who want the whole collection and then load any of those ROMs in an emulator without extracting the file (e.g. .zip or .chd or .rvz or .wux), which would prevent having two copies of it, however, updating a 1G1R torrent is out of the question, that would just cause more problems.


By the way, you can join the signal group and discuss this further with us! You can send me a direct message as a request or find it in the “RetroTorrents” community page.


I really liked your elaboration on the consequences for hosting a torrent site. And forget about money, the only line of defense someone has on the internet is privacy.
Can’t be sued if you don’t follow the steps of a Ross Ulbricht.


The idea is that RetroTorrents allows downloads through torrents, while Vimm doesn’t.


Yeah, is there is a better platform perhaps?


I just put a quick description in this post, I will add a “what” section when I can.


No, its a website like the pirate bay, but nowhere finished atm…
RetroTorrents.net has magnet links
1 magnet = 1 Compressed ROM
Use a torrent client
Download compressed ROM
Play the game
Seed the torrent
No need to decompress a .7z or .zip file from vimm or myrient, the ROM file is already compressed and ready to play.


For those curious, here is an I2P guide from 2 years ago.


You have a point, but to be honest my only concern for this project would be hiding from the ESA.


Can’t tell you right now.
PHP can be old but it is still taught at schools, are there other languages I should use?


There are unofficial search plugins for qBitorrent here and they work well

But I prefer using torrents-csv.com


I think it was made by a TV company


It depends, I have no idea if the founders even helped with the writting.


It attempts to show events that TPB AFK didn’t show perfectly like the reasons of creating the website or other events like raids of other file sharing website at the time


Magnificent
I will be linking your remux to my rentry page, the other one with Russian dub and subs will stay as a copy!

We did…It’s complicated!

We have found the torrents from the Reddit user r/1G1R to be a great choice, but some of these collections use a file format that does not work on an emulator. For example, the “1G1R - Redump - Sony - PlayStation” torrent has ROM files stored in a .7z archive (does not work with DuckStation). That is Game Over for those that want to download, play and archive every game at the same time. :(
