Non scene C64 paper mags - where to put them?
Hi all!
A couple of years ago me and Hercules scanned a lot of Danish C64 papermags (non scene). They're about 2.8 GB all together from the magazines Soft, Soft Today, COMputer and Computer Action 1986-90, not complete though.
Does anyone know if there's a place for this kind of thing?
Btw, I went through them all and found quite a lot of good stuff for the GTW site, so that's great. But maybe someone else would like to take a look. They're all in Danish, I warn ya' ;)
Cheers from Anders

Perhaps contact http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/ ?
Some of the larger collections seem to only be available as torrents though.
I would personally prefer if this stuff was directly downloadable but that costs quite a bit of space and bandwidth I guess. |

That's what torrents are for. ;_)

There's also mags.c64.org, maintained by Jazzcat. However, that is mostly about C64 scene disk mags, and a few paper ones. So I'm not sure how he thinks about including non scene mags. |

I would love to host the mags but the problem is the size of those collections.
Currently http://mags.c64.org has all issues of ZZAP64. Also some non-scene stuff in the downloads section like C+VG issue 1 and Floppy Issues from 1985 to 1988.
Put them up on a permanent service and I can link them to the site.
An idea on some of the sizes:
Australian Commodore and Amiga Review (4.2GB)
Commodore Format (387MB)
Commodore Power-Play (1GB)
Commodore World (430MB)
Loadstar CD (Issues 001 - 199) (427MB)
The Guide to Computer Living (320MB)
The Transactor Mag Archive Partially Complete (1.7GB)
Your Commodore Collection (4.7GB)
ZZAP64 DVD (all issues, covertapes, posters) (3GB)
etc etc etc |

Ok, I'll try to find a place for the files. Anyone knows a good place to upload (for free)? |

Hmm.. reminds me that I have the Danish magasines RUN (1984-1988) and COMputer (1985-1994) a total of 5GB, scanned by uhm... I forgot..
They are currently available for online viewing on a VERY slow connection.. you can get the URL by PM'ing me if you want to have a look.
