Shoot this is an enormous undertaking by you mrdav. Thank you. I hope that it won't go the way of MCP's and sheepies... and that others are archiving what you've achieved here.

Out of interest, do you know which is the most popular of the above titles?

I have my hopes, MikeTomTom, that the collection will be OK because I have my links protected, and RS does not allow access by others to what they are hosting apart from what the account holders allow.

I have been toying with the idea of collecting some stats on downloads. I might do that now you have mentioned it...maybe a list of items with downloads exceeding 100. I will think on it.

Hi mrdav. I was curious because I have a few hosted at RS too, 'tho nothing remotely extensive as yours. From my uploads to date, Mac OS 8.7 (Sarah) has been the most popular with 350+ DL's, and two RtCW addons "Project 51" & "Timegate" at 250+ & 200+ respectively. Those addons I have a personal interest in because I made them available for PPC (they were Win PC only, beforehand) and not one yay, or this is shite comment made in the MG... I can only conclude the MG is 99.9% lurkers & slurpers

I also wish the MG had a similar counter system.

Thanks mrdav. Very interesting indeed. Looks like games are very popular. Quite interested in the silver surfer being so popular.
Of the non-games: ClarisWorks 4 kids! Wow. 115 unfortunate souls DL'ing that best forgotten anomaly
567 DL's for Apple Legacy Recovery & 110 DL's for Mac OS 7.1.2 for Macintosh LC/Quadra I can appreciate.

Can't download any of those rapidshare links behind that shitty anonymizer. How do you show the real links?

2013, October 6 - 11:52pm

Ah, had to update Firefox.

Edit: had to switch to Chrome

There is a text field with a captcha near, but for me, Firefox works fine with it.

It looks like rapidshit has scrubbed many of the files, and not just the ones on this account. Perhaps you should consider a different host...

I have updated the list of files on RS so that you know which files will need replacing here. This list will not change, but I am happy to strike out items as they are replaced if you mention it here.
