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.
