Hi all,

I'm the head mod of r/savemyrient. today, we got some amazing news from the myrient community backup discord server.

Long time no see. We've been kicking major ass in the background getting downloads completed and validated. We can now announce that the Myrient mirror is now 100% COMPLETE!! Total size is 385TB Work is now continuing on generating torrents and getting them available. Website will be back soon, had to get that ready for the next stage and it was easier to just take it offline to do that. More news to come!

#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

Myrient cierra el 31 de marzo: 390TB de historia de los videojuegos se apagan. La causa no es una demanda, sino los precios de la RAM por la IA y usuarios que usan gestores de descarga para lucrar. La preservación digital también muere por la economía real.

Downloading the entire Atari 2600 library before Myrient is gone because I want to laugh at how little storage space it takes up and also I feel like it'll be a good library to comb through when it's late at night and I want to be dropped into a random-ass game that I can hardly parse visually let alone figure out the goal of.

There's a run-on sentence for you.

#retrogaming and #vintagecomputing #archive #Myrient is shutting down due to rising costs in hosting and hardware. This is indeed a very sad development in the preservation of vintage software.

If you're into this sort of thing, hurry up and mirror the things you need before it shuts down on March 31 2026.

I'll be sure to grab anything related to the #Enterprise #microcomputer, as well as some old #NES stuff.

Dude AI is ruining everything both directly and indirectly. Hearing that #Myrient is going to close its doors in a month due to the rising cost of hosting.

It was GPU’s, then GPU’s indirectly affected RAM. It’s already started trickling into CPU demand because of this wave of agents.

If you ever needed a better sign that AI is not for you, this is it. They are going to price out entire populations because you won’t be able to afford to buy a computer without working for some corporate entity that has full control of your PC.
