Would mailing a set of 2 DVDs be a bit more economical than transferring 7 GB of data? I could see that being an option for archives that want a full collection. You could even PayPal for shipping.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I basically forgot since no one replied (Well, one person replied, sent me onto someone else who supposedly maintained it, who never replied). If you're up for putting a second copy on the archive once this collection is approved, that'd be awesome :) (email me off list so I know or not - I'm happy to eventually get around to uploading things, but I don't have the time right now).<br>

Awesome Bill, didn't know about that site. I've added it to the resources section and as a link in the project page for that.<br>

Sometime in the future (farrrr fuuutrreee, when I have magical unlimitteddd tiimmeee :) ) I planned on getting an Archive.org collection for free games, as a pure repository. I'll certainly keep your project and site in mind when it comes to adding to this (but if you were interested, could work on it sooner rather then later I guess, if you want some download mirrors and a good backed up place for the files you do put up ;) all it mainly needs is the insane amount of time it takes to upload files).<br>

Funny you should mention this. Just this past week, I finally got around to visiting all of the game pages on <a href="http://liberatedgames.org/" target="_blank">http://liberatedgames.org/</a> (which doesn't seem to be maintained anymore), followed all the links, and downloaded everything I could. The maintainer had mirrored a lot of files @ <a href="http://atomicgamer.com" target="_blank">atomicgamer.com</a> which is a pain to download from. I went ahead and paid a $5 monthly subscription fee to get easy access to the files.<br>
<br>
I hope to upload them all to my own webspace soon so that others can more easily download them. I think these acquisitions tally about 7 GB total. I also have a file full of dead links that I need to chase down from other sources (hopefully).<br>
