Josh, that is very nice of you to acknowledge and thank us .

I am going to take you up on that offer!

Hey, Josh from EGM here. Now that things have calmed down a bit on the Archive launch, just wanted to hop in and offer a personal thank you for your support of the project here, and for your efforts in working on preserving the magazines for all these years. We definitely couldn't have done this without your community, at least not at the level of quality and on the timetable we did. As many of you have pointed out, the bulk of the scanned material we're using definitely originated here. (We'd asked Phillyman for his blessing ahead of time, FWIW.) We did do our own clean up work (both image processing and fixing pagination errors), and we also did our own rescans of certain issues and missing or damaged pages within issues. But yeah, would've been impossible for us to make the whole history of EGM so accessible to people without the RetroMags community, so I wanted to let you know we're grateful. If your scanning work wound up on our archive and you pledged to support the campaign, we'd like to give you a little bonus as a thank you, so please let me know here or send me an email (josh.harmon@egmnow.net) and I'll hook it up.

Heya, just wanted to give an update as things have been going on in the background. The issues mentioned earlier are currently on their way to @Gregorick as we speak - I leave them in the care of much more capable hands. As for the rest of the issues that've already been scanned - There's not much point scanning them again, but at the same time it seems like a waste to just throw the copies I have out. That's why I've been reaching out to a few organisations that may be interested in them instead. If everything goes well, they will be going to a deserving institution in the UK - I'll provide more news when that's confirmed.

I just tried it again and it seems to be working now. I was at my office on campus when I tried downloading originally so I'm guessing it had something to do with the wifi, maybe? Anyway, sorry about that, and thanks for the help!

Definitely seems to be some sort of problem on your end, as those downloads seem to be working fine for everyone else. Downloading multiple files at once can be done by using the torrents, so maybe you can just avoid whatever technical issue is preventing you from doing regular downloads altogether.
