they did change the rules pretty drastically recently, but I don't really pay too much attention (I've only DLd a handful of things from there, although those DVD quality DLs add up quickly).

Most things I've downloaded from there, I've gotten over 1.0 ratio on just by keeping them seeding forever. If you're one of the few people still seeding something a year down the line when it gets snatched again, you're going to do pretty well. That said, go download any of the files I'm seeding ;) https://karagarga.net/current.php?id=58469

Ok, I have a new account. The thing is, I have no patience when it comes to downloading. This is what I've downloaded so far. If it can give ideas to some of you, perhaps my ratio will increase.

That's a great series - we have the DVD boxset. As you're an architecture nut Antoine I suppose you know Nathaniel Kahn's film My Architect about his father Louis? If not, get it: it's here (don't know if these links work) https://karagarga.net/details.php?id=3821
I won't post screenshots of things I've snatched - in any case you can probably work out what they are by reading my posts on the other RWFilms thread (fascinated to see how little I know of your list Ben, literature aside) - but if anyone wants to swap such info with a view to boosting KG bonus a bit, PM me

It was more a joke than anything else. Isn't it discouraging ? I don't know if half of those movies are good or not, though. There is also a good deal of oddities that you can only find on kg.

Yeah, like many TV shows, they release each season alone, then a boxset of N seasons (here, I think 1-5), then individually again... I hope arte will release a complete one at the end.

Ha, came over to post about freeleech and am glad to see I was beaten to it.
Cleared out my bookmarks, upgraded some old favorites....and pulled out a new hard drive for storage. and there's still 5 more days to go!

If anyone needs ideas here are my uploads ranked by popularity:

thanks for the early pointer on this, Dan, I got some stuff and more importantly I managed to upload twice as much this week as I had in the first 2 1/2 years of my membership, so my ratio is golden for quite some time now.

I've been trying to log on to Karagarga now for the past few days, with no luck. :(
Is there a membership fee that has to be paid prior to registration or an invite that's required?
