    Asking community, what is your take on [INCOMPLETE] posts? Should we continue posting it and have at least some episodes or should we only post complete seasons?

      Your too kind, I just post what I find, but thank you :)) Real big thanks go to anyone who uploaded those. It’s just sometimes its not that easy to find good content in all the noise. This is why this community exists, at least as long as its allowed by the instance.

    Any reason why you link the download and not the details? It’s nice and convenient to be able to use the web player on the details page.

      Yes, its easier to parse data and auto-download it. For example you can make a script to check for rss updates like every hour and feed the links in wget to download it. If you want to see archive details page just click on “Go to parent directory”. But useally there details page is not very helpful. I don’t have time to code good script myself right now, but here is a quick example generated by ai at https://rentry.co/autodl-archive Of course you need to improve it to have filters for tags or only whitelist titles you want.

      Yeah, what you see is what you get. I don’t upload ANYTHING to archive.org I just post links to what I find. So if there is no metadata in files your out of luck. Plus I don’t know what .wav/.flac music you talking about because I did not post any MUSIC at all here.
