Ever hate the feeling when you spend hours searching for something and get no where?
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.
24we 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.

gasp
2I'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

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.
10What were they?
10No 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
3English sub version here for No Life King - https://rarefilmm.com/2023/05/no-raifu-kingu-1991/
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.
6Am I missing something? The EP appears to be available here: https://open.spotify.com/album/77E5dT4pBw3VFno1qdRanb

I usually assume that if I don’t find it in under ten minutes it doesn’t exist.

2I 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

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.

Preservation is important. Have you also tried IRC or DC++?
2What 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
