I keep all setup files and corresponding medicine in some organized way in the HD and external HD, well, I mean I try to be organized... normally keep them even after an update because sometimes upadates or the medicine are buggy and need to reinstall older version. Once the latest version is properly tested and works, I delete them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I delete them once a new version is released and duely tested. Of course, I'm ready to help anyone who is asking for, if it is in my possibilies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopenstein Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have hundreds of 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppys - Hundreds of CD-R and DVD-R discs filled with programs/games with the cracks/keygens (aka medicine). Dating back to the early 90's. Remember Phrozen Crew? A few years ago I realized that I would probably never use most of them again. Now I'm being really picky about what I save. All of that stuff will probably end up in the trash either before or after I kick off. I don't know of any place to upload the old stuff to or if anyone would want it.

Administrator DKT27 Posted May 14, 2017 Administrator Share Posted May 14, 2017 Here I am, finding years and years of useless files / fixes and trying to delete the ones that are not useful and there you guys are, keeping things from decades. Not sure if I should even consider deleting them. I for one have a dedicated partition / folder only for downloads. This partition has nothing installed in it but contains only downloads. From years I consider this as more organized than having a folder in the main drive or keeping somewhere else. Not only that, I used to keep a different partition only for torrent seeding, but that was not much useful. Only recently I thought that I should create separate folders for downloads and fixes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am Negan Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 What we should do is make a community vault. Where everybody could add something too it? But then i might need another drive. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debebee Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Collecting now on a slowdown.. Downloads are on a NEED basis now... trimming lots of apps which version numbers have baloooned over the years.. Keeping just the last relevant versions for certains OSes (ex last working with XP, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
