I never used this, hadn't even really heard of it.

But I use gazelle games for my needs. I'm surprised myriant didn't have torrents for its collection.

That might be a quick an dirty way of archiving the whole site for people. This seems like a perfect use of distributed peer to peer storage and networking to reduce costs.

Everything was direct download on Myrient. It was also pretty fast for a free site.
