2005-2015 Torrents

These torrents are archives of all the original torrent releases. Contents are identical to their original releases, so all existing .torrent files in the wild remain valid. However, the embedded tracker lists are occasionally updated to help keep these torrents perpetually working. Magnet links are provided (paste into your client) in case all the trackers were to fail. If you've downloaded these in the past, please consider seeding your existing download with the latest torrent files below.
