I think that cd trading would be nice, but about if we just setup servers on our computers so that a close group of us could access eachothers roms and just download them? Seems like it would be so much easier, except there doesn't seem to be anyone else on this board who is interested in this sort of thing. There wouldn't be bandwidth problems if it was a small group of us doing it.

It's not a bad idea, but I would fire up the newsreader and check out alt.games.mame. There's a few people up there who are offering full sets on FTP sites and over some of the PTP services, like Gnutella.

Yes, but I have a hard time with the newsgroups. There would be a ton of listings with mame roms attached to the messages. Half the time I could click and save the attachment and half the time I couldnt download it. Also, I think there would be a huge advantage to a small group of us running our own private servers instead of having to rely on some stranger's ftp that 100's of people are trying to get on all at once.
