You're welcome.

Can't help wondering whether the success of this one will bring more C64 related kickstarters in times to come. (BIT4/R64 v4, I'm looking at you.)

Backed at level 3. Initial confusion as I clicked the £35 tier and Kickstarter told me that it's actually £40. For a second I thought they were going to short change me, until I noticed that the extra fiver was for P&P. That'll teach me not to conduct business with less than 3 coffees in my syst...

If there's one thing that gets my dander up more than having an "exclusive" product publicly available later on, it's when shopkeepers are perfectly happy to take your money today, but want none of your business a month from now. The obvious solution is to make the physical CD an nicely pa...

Not that I want to be the one to be the proverbial stick in the mud, but one of my first crowdfunding experiences was for a game that couldn't run on my computer - I knew this beforehand, and didn't care since one of the stretch goals was for the soundtrack to be released in FLAC/MP3 format. Hence, ...

Not going to happen. As much as I loved my Amiga 500 back in the day, my passion is for the C64. OCRemix has an Amiga section (http://ocremix.org/system/amiga/games) if you're looking for alternative outlets. Last I heard their submission turnaround schedule was even slower than RKO and AR combined,...

Yah! Transmission is now showing additional seeds for the torrents, so I've moved the links to the RKO main page and retired the temporary URL. @quapil: Thanks for helping to seed. Hopefully I'll find someone to create an archive of the tracks added during 2014 soon. If not I might just have to do i...

Anyone managed to test the new torrent/magnet links? (or adding the trackers if you're already seeding the old torrents)

Correct. LukHash asked me to remove Commando [heavy mix] and Lazy Jones [jakistakinijaki REMIX].

Right! I have updated the temporary page and moved it to http://remix.kwed.org/torrents/rko-bittorrent-archive.html It now contains both modern-day magnet links and oldskool torrent ones - both using new trackers, just in case someone doesn't have a DHT/PEX enabled client. If you're already seeding,...

You don't even need a tracker anymore. Just create a new torrent without a tracker, grab the magnet link off it and post that on your site. Bob is then, as they say, your uncle. Like this: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:E7DF09BCF6902B2CF08DC0158A9E2371BB742BD2&dn=Commoflage%20jingel.mp3 Good point. I have...

Quick update: I've now secured copies of all the yearly torrents plus the "Lost Files" one mentioned earlier (21.5 Gb in total) thanks to the advent of Distributed Hash Tables making bittorrent resilient to server outtages.

Isn't technology awesome?

Good news, Everyone. Thanks to the Wayback Machine[1] I've managed to secure a copy of the yearly torrent files for 2000-2012 and the "Lost Files" one. Since the "Lost Files" would probably be the hardest one to rebuild if truly lost (get it?) I decided to focus on it, by replaci...

Don't worry, there's backups - I download weekly backups of the website, which in turn are backed up to two external harddrives, one of which is always stored away from home. And I've got an external drive that OS X refreshes hourly. I lost a huge collection of photos around 2005, and decided to go ...

Bumping an old thread - there might be some developments brewing vis-a-vis the RKO bittorrent mirror: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10549

Once in a while I get a request to bring back the RKO torrents. It's not often, but it happens - and the last one got me thinking. Unfortunately the combination of the server that ran the bittorrent-tracker keeling over a while back and Misser no longer being with us (he maintained, seeded and updat...
