Seeking help & new hoster! If you want to keep every single patch for every single game released over the last 14 years online and this sites sole admin motivated, drop a line at ps19932006 AT yahoo.de . What I am looking for are capable hands to design and set up a new site, bring in more money (Google ads don't pay the bills) as well as people reporting and adding new content. If you are interested, send an email - I simply cannot go on doing everything by myself. Else I will close the site by 2007.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

🙁 🙁

Any1 know how big the current archive is? Patches scrolls probably has a lot of patches that are not available anymore...
I certainly wouldn't mind if the complete archive would find it's way on some torrent 😁

Previously I had an FTP address to the Patches Scrolls archive but the webmaster of Patches Scrolls just sent me a PM requesting that I take it down. (Guess he really needs those ads. 😉 )

Hi,

I am kindly asking you NOT to list direct links to my site's ftp mirror over at auth.gr - it makes my decision if I should keep the site open not easier. I cant pay the traffic bills when people won't even go to the website and generate the few cents on one thousand visits I get paid by google on ad banners.
And to answer your question:
the current archive is about 300GB
If I add to this obsolete patches, which are only available on my offsite hard disks, its about 500GB.

P.S.: Please use ps19932006 AT yahoo.de for replies. I usually have no time to check on any forums. I just stumbled upon your post while checking logs.

Well at least we know the info on the site was true. Thinking about /.'ing or Digging this....
