I have just got an Amiga Emulator (winuae I think?) Where can I download games from, anyone got an ftp site? and also is it possible to get those great LSD disks to download, if so where from?

Thanks in advance

No problem really. Emulation sites don't often live long. I've got 1200+ urls in my favourites folder most of which are dead emulation links, recently I made a folder named "hell" and moved 1000~ of them there :laughing

Given that so many sites go down or change very quickly, Usenet (alt.binaries.emulators.misc, alt.binaries.emulators.amiga) and IRC (sorry, can't remember the channel) are very good bets if the stuff you want is in TOSEC.

It was a moment of hesitation, pressed del... selected no... then deleted... and restored from the recycle bin :D

They had a fire in the room which contained their server and are trying to set up everything once again.

Their free hosting was still working last week and they had signed a contract with a bigger company named Virgilio to support more free hosting.
