Just because I'm unsure, wouldn't it make more sense to create torrents for each collection once they are complete as opposed to just making these massive torrents that people need to manually sort through?
The goal was....
1 Large Torrent of Everything....
Then a yearly torrent every January 1st each year, with the previous years releases.
Then every 5 years, we wrap it back up into 1 large Torrent and do it again.
2021 Torrent got missed and I have been meaning to get it done, but I got laid off of my job and my number 1 goal was getting a job.
2022 Torrent got missed because I had a second kid and started a new job and needed to put time towards both of those.

I don't see why that would be a problem. @E-Day, @Phillyman, your thoughts?
*huggles*

I think you have to pay to see downloads over there. I could be wrong though.

I believe most of them are too new for Retromags, plus I am pretty sure they sell all those back issues as well as the digital versions....which would go against us taking money out of a publishers pocket.

Video game magazines have been a significant part of the video game industry for several decades. These magazines have been crucial in providing gamers with the latest news, reviews, and insights into the gaming industry. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of video game magazines and why they continue to be relevant in the modern gaming landscape.
Firstly, video game magazines serve as a valuable source of information for gamers. These magazines cover a wide range of topics related to the gaming industry, including news about upcoming releases, reviews of recent games, and previews of future titles. Gamers who are interested in staying up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the industry can rely on these magazines to provide them with accurate and timely information.
Moreover, video game magazines offer a unique perspective on the gaming industry. Unlike online sources, such as blogs or forums, video game magazines have a dedicated team of writers and editors who have extensive knowledge and experience in the industry. These experts can provide readers with insights and analysis that are not readily available elsewhere. By reading video game magazines, gamers can gain a deeper understanding of the industry and its trends, which can help them make informed decisions about which games to play and which platforms to invest in.
Another important aspect of video game magazines is their ability to foster a sense of community among gamers. These magazines often feature letters from readers, as well as forums and other interactive features that allow gamers to connect with each other. This sense of community can be particularly valuable for gamers who may not have many friends or acquaintances who share their interest in gaming. By participating in online discussions and engaging with other readers, gamers can build relationships and feel a sense of belonging within the larger gaming community.
Furthermore, video game magazines have played an important role in the history of the gaming industry. Many of the most popular video game franchises, such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy, were first introduced to gamers through magazines like Nintendo Power and Electronic Gaming Monthly. These magazines helped to build excitement and anticipation for new releases, and they played a crucial role in establishing these franchises as cultural icons.
In addition to their historical significance, video game magazines also serve as a record of the industry's evolution over time. By looking back at old issues of magazines like GamePro and Game Informer, gamers can see how the industry has changed and evolved over the years. This historical perspective can be particularly valuable for gamers who are new to the industry and may not be aware of its rich history.
Finally, video game magazines offer a different kind of reading experience than online sources. While online articles and reviews can be helpful, they are often designed to be read quickly and efficiently. Video game magazines, on the other hand, offer a more immersive and engaging reading experience. They often feature long-form articles, interviews with industry insiders, and detailed reviews that provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of the games they are interested in. For gamers who enjoy taking the time to fully explore a topic, video game magazines can be a more satisfying and rewarding reading experience than online sources.
In conclusion, video game magazines have played an important role in the gaming industry for several decades. They provide gamers with a valuable source of information, offer unique insights into the industry, foster a sense of community among gamers, and serve as a record of the industry's evolution over time. While the rise of online sources has led to the decline of many print magazines, video game magazines continue to be relevant in the modern gaming landscape. For gamers who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the industry and its trends, video game magazines remain an essential source of information and insight.

I put a cron job to reenable it upon reboot, and a monitor on it to tell E-day and I if it is down.

Whoever in feralhosting password protected the files, well...I'd like to get the person from feralhosting to leak the password for them.
The problem is, they basically tapped me on the shoulder and said.....Knock it off!
They just acted like I made a mistake and forgot to password protect a directory of 3500 magazines. I was like, nah....by design.....and they were like....Not allowed, keep it up and we cancel you and no refund!

Don't forget probably the cheapest option: a metal ruler and a sharp box cutter. If you want to protect the table or desk under the magazine a cutting mat is also recommended.
This is my setup, a $2 metal ruler from Walmart, a $1 box cutter from Home Depot, and a $10 wooden tray table from Walmart.
You see those battle scars?

It looks like this job changed all of the issues that we already had scanned on this list to "Scanning", so now it looks like we don't have them. Is there a way to switch those back to preserved?
Fixed, flipped back 41 entries from Scanning to Preserved where a download link existed.

I've sent Phillyman the list in the required format so that he can automate that change. I wouldn't want us to have to go through and change the status of over 800 database entries manually.
This has been completed. Now magazines in our database will be flagged as
Scanning
And if you open up you should see the Status note of
2022 Massive VGHF Scan Job

The Canon LIDE 200 is a flatbed scanner, I had the 100 version of it for a while. This means the paper is stationary and the scan head moves across the glass. So I would assume that a speck of dust on the glass would not create these lines. Sounds like you may have dust on the actual scan head and that is causing the lines.

I have them with me, and am shipping them up to E-day for scanning. Looks like another person sent in the same issue, they just did not know you sent them to me. The others should credit you.
