It's possible nobody else has tried. I suspect most people on these forums get their movies as soon as the game is published, if not before then, and from that point on don't bother to check the torrents. Sorry. :\

No one check, I guess. I already pointed about Ferret Warlord's Sparkster run, but nothing happened. Sorry for the possibly silly question, but why these obscure movies can't be uploaded to archive.org? And... Nobody have these movies anymore?

Adelikat has an active archive of all the currently published movies, try sending him a PM or asking on IRC.

This is indeed a problem. I'm currently thinking up a proper solution. In the mean time, ask adelikat to seed anything you need.

Whatever happened to the autoseeder that we used to have? Did it go away with the change in hosting?

I'm attached to and seeding everything I have, which turns out to be ~80% of everything. The rest I'm trying to download right now. I'm going to see if I can manage to keep it running depending on my ISP's policies. Does anybody have a complete archive of everything?

Prior to 2009-01-01, you can find pretty much every movies on archive.org. You can search for ZeXr0 and you'll find some big list of TAS movies.

I don't know, I think some people got a pass to it and linked most of them. It should be easy to verify, in the pages you'll find every filename of the movies. So it should be easy to compare it with the data of the site.
