Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help?

Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites

      sure, and eventually that’d be a good way to share them. Either way, loosening limits on downloads would crush their servers now

      This would be a good option for preservation and to spread the load. I just downloaded GIMP yesterday and they have a torrent link to download their software.
