Best way to download lots of files?

[Attacker3]

I have an emulator and there are certain files I want for my emulator, but I want lots of them, like 100s of these files, so I am asking how to download large amounts. Are there torrents for large amounts of these files?

There are compilation torrents like what you described, depending on the system. That's probably the best way.

Thank you buddy. I will now look for these compilation of files.

Yeah, there are rom packs for whatever game emulator you want. On torrent sites and such. What emulator is it?

JNES, and whatever SNES emulator I will be using.

ROM packs definitely exist for those systems. I keep thousands of those on my external drive, since the file sizes are relatively small.

The only potential issue is the fact that depending on the pack he will have to sort through since some of them have a lot of crap in them for the sake of being complete although that may not be an issue.

Also I recommend using Transmission as it is my favorite client.

The no-intro rom sets are really good.

Yeah, SNES rom packs exist. Most "complete" ones might contain hentai or something tho lol

My favorite torrent client is Deluge.

+1 for Deluge. Works great. uTorrent is filled with adwares now, so better use this one.
Transmission on Linux is pretty good too.

Google for a '*snip the hint*' or similar as I can't link to it and navigate to rom/ISO packs. They've got hundreds all in one rar file.

yes definitely, i have a lot of them on my own pc. i have so many nds roms, and ive even downloaded snes rom packs and put them all on a dreamcast snes emulator, but it was a mistake doing that because now it takes forever for the emulator to load all the files on the dreamcast.

unless you want to play ROM hacks, which usually require the header to be intact.

and yeah look on torrent sites, I found goodgba 3.23 or whatever the version was and it around 32gb, the whole thing. ^^

@mech - i know who you're talking about, there rom packs are really old and haven't been updated in ages

Roms from no-intro rom sets are unmodified. Why wouldn't the header be intact? The mode7 roms are the ones that always have crap put in them.

I thought they stripped the headers... afaik that's what I read on RHDN.

Nope, no-intro roms are untouched rom dumps.

Check out their site (There are no roms on their site, I'm not linking to anything illegal):

For romsets, if you want the most complete set available (meaning EVERY rom available), then Goodsets and NonGoodsets are the way to go. For a set of clean roms without duplicates, go for no-intro sets. I have a harddrive with goodsets and nongoodsets of almost every retro console you can think of (including GBA) and so far i've only used 200+ gigs, so space shouldnt be an issue if you have a beefy harddrive.
