Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were transferred to film for editing before transmission and exist in their broadcast form. [88] Some episodes have been returned to the BBC from the archives of other countries that bought prints for broadcast or by private individuals who acquired them by various means. Early colour videotape recordings made off-air by fans have also been retrieved, as well as excerpts filmed from the television screen onto 8 mm cine film and clips that were shown on other programmes. Audio versions of all lost episodes exist from home viewers who made tape recordings of the show. Short clips from every story with the exception of Marco Polo (1964), “Mission to the Unknown” (1965) and The Massacre (1966) also exist.”

I don’t have the originals, but I am happy to say I have all of the 1963 and 2005 Doctor Whos (with the exception of some new stuff… I should really get sonarr.) They are on i2p and I am still seeding if anyone wants them.
Except of course the missing/lost episodes from the 1963 run, although from what I’ve heard, some of them have been found!
I checked and I have at least some of the ones wikipedia lists as missing if I didn’t read it wrong.
I’m still very new to torrenting, is i2p the name of a website or does it mean something like p2p?
I2P is similar to TOR in that it’s an alternative Internet with strong privacy protections, in many ways stronger than TOR, but nothing that still uses TCP over IP can be truly secure.
Huh interesting. I guess I’ll have to start looking into it more, thanks
https://geti2p.net/en/download for the java version, which comes with extra apps. Otherwise, you can go to https://i2pd.website/ for the C++ version which is much lighter and you can just point your browser/torrent clients at the i2p router and you are good to go.
Thank you for the links! I guess I know what I’m doing this weekend lol
I had them all, until the disk I had them on died… Will implement i2p tomorrow.
