ROM websites alternatives to CDromance/repo

[joao_kol]

I have been trying to download some games by cdromance/the repo but the download speed was 3 days to download guitar hero.
I tested using Axekin website and a ps2 game repository from Internet archive and it was fine
Do you people have any reccomendations on direct download repositories that is not cdr/repo? I dont really could find any better alternatives aside from vimms lair, that also have a bad download speed (lesser at least)
As i am now only a mobile user, i dont know if i couls actually use torrent links/magnets

Seconding this. Also figured (I'm sure it's listed on one of these, it's just a favorite of mine) that I should mention Vimm. The ESA and Nintendo took down a decent bit of stuff on there, but there's a LOT still up there so it's worth checking.

Bad idea to discuss this openly. Those are the sites most likely to be struck by companies. Emulators get away with it because they don't provide the actual game.

This is why ROM sites can go down but emulators rarely do (the most was when Dolphin failed to get on Steam or Yuzu being sued for Switch stuff with Citra being collateral)

I understand why you say this, but if not asking for people who know the answer (like here), where should i ask for?
Besides, i was asking for personal reccomendations for "quality control", and r/roms and FMHY where mentioned, and i dont think any of these sources are really underground, and have a massive list of websites and torrent providers, so...

imho is not normal 3 days for a download from here

I thought also, because i downloaded persona 3 portable last week and it was fine. Probably a comunication problem with cdr servers on my end but i dont know how to fix or identify the problem

My fault for the late answer
I think a better way is to take advantage of DMs and groupchats while using the thread as a way to say I know a few places is probably the most ideal idea. There you can mention the name and share links to your hearts content without worry because it’s less likely to show up on the Google search. It’s what people tend to do when the topic comes up.

I've noticed it happens occasionally
sometimes you just gotta try again later or stick with it and sometimes it'll speed right up
