2017 Retromags Collection Available Via Torrents!

[Phillyman]

Torrents are Back!

Over the last few weeks I have been working on pulling everything out of the Download Manager and organizing it into torrents for mass distribution. I believe the last time we rolled everything up was back in 2008? Maybe 2010? This is the entire Retromags collection as it stands today with 1338 releases and coming in at 195GB. Because of the size I have broken down the collection into 14 sets of 100 magazines each. The magazines are in alphabetical order so the first torrent is #-C and so on. This was a huge undertaking to extract, match and get everything renamed and organized for distribution. Please seed as much as you can to keep these torrents alive.

 

Download All 1338 Retromags Releases!

 

As always our Download Manager will still be the primary storage container. Every 50 new or updated items in the DLM will get rolled up into a torrent "update" pack.

There are no real words to express the gratitude I have for the work that you and the others have put into this site. I remember when Retromags was on life support and it looked this important preservation project would be over.

Now it has become bigger than I thought it would be and there is still so much left to do. So thank you for that, I have not got around to saying that before.

Yes!!!!

 

In the matter of fact, it was because of that very first torrent that I found out about this site, back in the day.

 

Thanks!!!

thanks for all the hard work, especially taking time to compile everything!

That gives me an exclusive.  Maybe I should add some hype to my new release post.  "NOT AVAILABLE IN ANY TORRENT!!"

Wait'll you see Philly's face when I upload the scans of the TOP SECRET SUPER RARE Gamepro Issues 81-90 I recently discovered and make him re-number everything back to the way it was before he finally "fixed" it.

FYI - Now the Download Manager informs users of which torrent pack a release is inside of. See image below

Glad to see Torrents making a comeback, as I was a huge fan of the old "big" torrent that was floating around years back.  Also VERY glad for another reason:  I had a hard drive failure, and it was the drive all my old game mag scans were on.  I came to start the long process of pulling them all back down, to find thankfully torrents are alive again!  So, thanks, and thanks again!

Any news regarding the "update" pack?
Much appreciated and thank you for all the mags.

Not in a torrent as far as I can tell, but a list of direct downloads for the update packs can be found at http://leech.retromags.com/base/

Yeah I fell behind on this, so basically on January 1st 2019 I will close out the 2018 Update folders and torrent them, and then going forward we will probably have anywhere from 2-4 update folders per year.

Happy new year to all,

Cool, can't wait for the updates.

Long time ghoster here with hopefully an easy question.

I've been seeding the 2017 torrents along with the 2018/2019 Update 1 since they came out and didn't realize there were new ones. I see 2019-2-7 and 2020-1 on leech.retromags.com. How can I torrent those? I have a NAS with plenty of room for the updates that I leave on 24/7 to seed. More than happy to download them and seed non-stop. The link on the front page links to a downloads for up through 2019 Update 1.

Probably not the right thread to post in here, but happily seeding the Retromags Collection 2005-2020 torrent 24/7 on my end.

Just saw the huge update to the torrents and just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work to catch everything up!
