Yeah, it sucks. Spent the evening trying to find two foreign movies. One I couldn’t find anywhere(DDL, public trackers, and a private tracker) and the other I did find but locked behind a paid account for a ddl that I’m not sure is even legit. Combined with an EP I’ve had set on SS for years and combed everywhere. This is why preservation is important y’all

    It’s especially rough when you remember seeing it on the internet before and even had it yourself at one point. There are/were a bunch of music artists I discovered at both the old eMusic and the music section of old download.com, but those collections weren’t archived anywhere in any meaningful way when the sites changed. It took me years to finally locate what I was after. It’s just so draining to know that something used to easily and freely available and to not be able to find it no matter how hard to dig.

      Exactly, like the one EP was given away for FREE by a well liked artist by a large brand(Blu Jemz - Scion Radio Host Night People EP) but no where to be found

    A lot of french dubs of cartoon /anime are now lost media. A small team of dedicated fans have been looking for the french dub of Keroro Gunso for years and despite being really famous when it aired it’s nowhere to be found . A second Exemple is the cartoon network chowder which seems to have vanished from earth like it never existed.

    I usually assume that if I don’t find it in under ten minutes it doesn’t exist.

      I actually did not try rutracker, it’s failed me a lot in the past, but I’ll give it a go here in a while, thanks! I posted these in another comment with more context but: Geylang, No Life King, and Blu Jemz - Scion Radio Host EP Night People

    I still haven’t had luck finding for the Wheel Squad cartoon, I want to rewatch it because I remember one scene that seemed pretty eerie to me as a youngling.

        Oh yeah, this is a nice source, and actually I think they got it from Amazon French version but I think it is not complete and well, it is on french, I know it would be impossible to find it on latin Spanish as it is the version I watched, but even English would be fine for this rare case.

          Does the closed caption auto translate work for French to Spanish? It does for English.

            I didn’t try it because normally CC fails a bit, this being on French I wouldn’t notice, so it is not the best I guess, but it is worth a try!

              Another option if you have a nice Nvidia card is to use WhisperAI to autogen / translate subs for you. I’ve not used that feature of it yet, but I know it’s available.
