for a long time I wanted to get back some of my apps even I don't plan to always use them, the thing I don't like about iOS is if the app is no longer on your computer it won't sync from your backup, it won't even be in your purchased section if it's no longer in the App Store. I just thought about this now and was wondering if there is a possibility that certain apps may still exist on the web since back in the early days of jail breaking installous existed and I'm assuming those apps came from file sharing sites, I'm not going to ask for a web link to iOS apps but I'm finding it weird that it seems impossible for me to recover my lost apps from I think from ios5-7 days. I just want to know is there even a site that exists with older apps, do the app links from the days of installous still exist.
