A little background: a few /g/ents got together and started a private tracker a few months ago. We've been inviting different 4chan boards, hoping to diversify our content. Now it's your turn, we want some of you kind /prog/rammers to join us and upload rare/interesting stuff to improve our little tracker's selection.
If you're interested, join #inviteme on irc.typhon.isa-geek.com and wait for an interview. It's pretty easy, I swear.

you can leave penis enlargement stuff to me, moose333
Some things that set us apart from other private trackers:
*All 4chan userbase: we tend to have stuff chantards like.
*Very responsive community of request fillers: requests are always answered, most of the time within a few hours.
*No ratio enforcing: our seeders and uploaders contribute because they want to, not because they need the ratio.
*We already have a wide array of games, music and movies available.

I know what we like because I've seen those ads :) I'm not sure what a newfag is though, but I'll try to find a newfag and upload it. Thanks.

There is no way I would ever use a tracker run by the same guys that make /g/ as abhorrent as it is.

Yeah. Everything programmers need is available on the web under free licences [m][spoiler][b]or the [u][o]GPL[/m].

not necessarily. Im sure everyone here has interests beyond programming, We want to increase the size of the tracker in general, along with increasing the amount of content available to the userbase. Those are the two goals.
Rainbow tables maybe? But yeah, like >>15 said, pretty much everything programmers want (legally) is freely available and easier to download than through a torrent.
Now if you wanna get dodgy, there's proprietary tools, frameworks, documents, and SDKs that /prog/gers might be interested in (such as various console SDKs or ISO specifications).

ha ha ha ha ha, no.
for what it is (a board for random bullshit), /b/ is 100 * better than /g/.
you will never find a better board that /b/ on the internet for random garbage, but you can easily find a bahzillion places that are better than /g/ for technology chat.

If you mean the 19-part download that's freely available on the Apple website (but requires old Apple software to run) then no, because it's useless.

You can run it in an old world mac emulator, which you can get for free as well, and you can download one of a few compiled versions of the system software from their website as well.
Contrast to Windows. Betcha can't find 3.1 on Microsoft's website.

The windows 3.1 torrent i used to download it was a lot faster than Apple's web site.
And it was easier to find than that page full of multi-part downloads.
Apple is explicitly fine with people downloading old stuff no one cares about anymore. An official torrent would be ideal, I agree, and a "history" section on their site with download links (and perhaps some screenshots, and blurbs about those old OS releases and history of the company from a programming perspective) would be quite fascinating.
