  TPB and 1337x are torrents, whereas Anna’s Archive typically uses direct downloads. So it’s more akin to the old CoolROMs back before the massive takedown purges.

    Thanks. It’s confusing because everyone is talking about torrents. It’s in the title even, but I didn’t read the article.

      Well i think you can also torrent off of there too. There are massive backup files on their home page that they are basically begging people to download and seed… So maybe it’s that?
