THE MOVERS Treasure Chest III
A new thread with a new collection...
Here is my own collection, 3600+ disks converted for your pleasure, hopefully containing some missing or incomplete releases from the scene.
The disks were sitting in my garage in Tasmania, Australia. This is my SECOND collection of C64 wares as my first collection (disks spanning 1985-1996) along with all other earthly belongings, was destroyed with my house in 1996.
If you want me to re-convert anything, just tell me what's on the disk and the image number. Keep in mind, I will wait some time until all requests have been lodged, as I don't want to keep digging through the boxes over and over.
The collection is a 620MB 7zip file, available on the link below. Thanks to Mace for the temporary hosting.

The biggest thing is we wanted everything to be in a central depository, where people, mainly the hardcore collector types, could make sure the files were accessible if need be.

Seems there is a dl limit on that scenebase, it asks me to ftp log-in after I dowloaded the first part of the Jazzcat collection. Lame. |

Rough,
I'll look into that. We want to make it easy to get what you want, without alot of the roadblocks other sites see. btw, I've been archiving some of my disks, so hope to have some new packs up that haven't been seen here or anywhere else before.

Wow, simply amazing. I for one will wait until they reach the database as I get "The file you are trying to access is no longer available publicly." quite often ;P |

Demonger -X-, really appreciate your effort... (: just one question, is it possible to put also one file with all files from the images (including collection name) into the metadata or maybe as separate download? this way you could easier search for files, instead of opening each dir-list in every folder? |

I can't speak for elwix as he's really the brains of the operation, but ideally we'd make it where you could select releases and d/l them. I'm sure that'll be a work in progress for a long time to come, but that's the plan. Also, we'd like to use some of the pc based duplicate file finders and scan the archives. Not sure that'd work in many cases, but if we can trim them down, especially single file games/demos that would be ideal. Too often the releases have mainly been rehashes of what is already available, and then spread via torrents. I'm sure alot of people remember the renaming days for points/credits from warez spreading days. We'd like to get a more concise database, without 20 versions of the same group release in each archive. That along with the active archiving that is going on, hopefully we can get alot more done over the next year or so. Anxiously awaiting the derbyshire ram collection, and some others, and I have a contact or 2 that I'm working on to fill the gaps as well. Be looking for some good stuff over the next few months. Also, if anybody has any collections they're sitting on, please back them up. Never know when a fire, flood, or girlfriend will erase what you have. hehe.

Some time ago I asked Deadbeat for a complete mirror of good old IRC BOT Sharkbite, but he only had a rather bad copy of the website which mirrored Sharkbite back then. Bad in the sense of a few files missing from the web.archive.org dump he sent me.
I was able to retrieve a few of the missing files but there are some left to go for. See the included directory for yourself - if someone likes to complete this just for the sake of the collection, please go ahead. Not a too hard task I assume.
The original archive I got was around 80 MB. The 100 MB extended version can be grabbed here:
http://ftp.pokefinder.org/tmp/Sharkbite_TheSharks.rar
Just pass it to your collection sites and mirrors and take a moment to pray for Sharkbite :)
