Shame, they were my go-to for roms. Surprised it wasn't a dmca shutdown.

It's kinda more sad and also a really telling state of the world right now where the community stealing the work was the thing that killed it

It was inevitable to end at some point given the impossible economics of altruism in a capitalist society. I don't even blame people for overloading the system with download managers.

In a socialist country, the entire corpus of software would be available to every citizen at any point at zero charge, something capitalists hate which are also called public libraries.
