Some ROMS that were on the FTP before are available on BitTorrent, Azureus, eDonkey or any other P2P Torrent client.
A search for the original posted name of the file in a Torrent tracking site will probably do in most cases.
Beneath you will find a list of ROMs that have been found available through searching on PirateBay:

Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102
Remember you help the community by leaving the files in your shared folders as long as possible.
Rom distribution is decentralize from XDA.
XDA Cannot and will not host Material on it's servers that is not allowed.
Which basicly means that the people that own or pay for the rights of use to the Domain, webserver and FTP server, thus supplying us the users with these forums, have nothing to do with the distribution of illegal roms.
I will take a looksee, to see if i find other Roms. Any help in this is apreciated off course.
And i will update the list accordingly.
What do you people think of updating the Wiki to explain what the names of these ROMs represent?
Thats good Noonski that you are taking initiative...Dunno if this will be acceptable though or whether M$ will force xda not to even talk about torrents having ROMs (seems unlikely).Anyways, if this is allowed, I'm willing to pitch in to reseed and also seed the ones I already have with me.
But one thing, though choosing one particular site like demonoid might be a good idea in the sense of having a central repository of all ROM torrents but it has its drawback in not giving access to everyone since its a private tracker. Moreover, since you propose the next release of a rom to be closed, this raises 2 questions:
1. Ppl who are not demonoid subscribers can't get em. Is there going to be any invite system in place for demonoid?
2. even with the invite system how will one determine who gets the invite and who doesnt?
I am happy with my ROM collection and honestly this doesnt impact me at all. If I want a WM6 device, i will just buy it.
demonoid is good, i second that, and as for invites, i think i can give out some, we need to start by making a list, lets say by the number of posts, lol i will wont be getting invites since i have been more of a reader than a replier. anyways, but we need to think outside the box, we cant just cave in.
lets see,
our options are:
1. private ftp, maybe ce4arab.com will allow us to use thiers
2. torrents
3. irc
4. newsgroups, hate them since never got how to use them
5. files upload websites
6. gmail, or yahoo spaces
any more?
it has to be done, we need to do this, we will do it.
cheers
I think torrents are a great way to go. I prefer Pirate Bay since registration is closed at Demonoid it is harder to get many new users using for these purposes. If there are existing torrents pm me and I will be happy to seed as well.

Just downloading the Roms and not reseeding is not being part of a Community, thanks.

I would love to help out by seeding. I have a T1, not a ton of bandwidth but plenty good to get these pushed out. If someone has something they want me to seed, let me know.

I would also be in favor of setting up a private FTP for those who have something to contribute. If it is not in the public eye then we shouldn't have a problem right. I have been using these ROMS for a while now and would love to help out. I have plenty of hard drive space for it, and a Dual Processor server on my T1.
Send me email if you wanna get something done. Perhaps we need a mini private forum outside of the public eye also, just a thought.
cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft....
While the idea is nice, I think It'll only help get Demonoid get a cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft....
Think you better upload them to newsgroups, like a.b.warez.pocketpc or something.....

I just feeling around a bit. Wading the water.
1. Demonoid has an invite system in place allready.
I have just posted the torrents also on a PirateBay tracker.
And BTW the torrent on demonoid should be open to everyone unless i F^cked up again
2. You are right about deciding who's in or out.
I myself would only invite if i knew that either the user nows what he wants. I could see some of his posts for instance.
It's why having a discussion is a good thing. What do people think is smart. What do the Cooks want.
Do they want the roms to be totally available for everyone including users that should not be playing around with Roms but do add to the attention XDA gets?
As for me i don't care where i post the Roms. It's just that for most of my other torrents i'm a Demonoid user. I'll post them anywhere and seed them anyhow. As long as i don't get them from XDA directly it's none of their biz is it?

Have you seen what else is seeded there?
Vista crack here, Office Version There. Pre release DVD rips........
It looks like most of the stuff up there is not allowed by anyone.
PirateBay here we come

The three faria roms are available on PirateBay all people now need to do to help out is keep the seeds alive.
Maybe i should reconsider changing my nick there.
if anyone can please seed the PDAviet4 installer that would be GREAT!!! I have been wanting to try it out for a long time now, and i've searched every torrent site i know of and nothing comes up. I myself am helping out with the faria roms. If anyone can please message me with a means of a way to get it, that would be GREAT!
Thank you.
I'd definitely like to see postings of new releases to newsgroups as this is the fastest way to obtain anything that's recent.
I myself have a few roms to share :
buttons 1.05
molski (several)
faria V2 8mb
pdaviet3 / 4
orwells
underground
tmobile 2.26
maybe others...
but I dunno how to post to newsgroups or else
If s/o can explain, i'll be glad to help there
AKU3.2-1.0RC1 Wizard Rom
Yes the thread has been updated.
the
AKU3.2-1.0RC1 Wizard Rom
can now also be found on Pirate Bay.
I want to thank those people that are now reseeding the Faria roms.
I have never stated and will never state that I am the person that uploads these Roms.
Shame that not enough people have picked up on this thread or sollution.
xdaminis-update_22413_2214106_021911GER
Hey it is just getting better.
Don't ask me exactly which rom this is maybe someone can enlighten me?
xdaminis-update_22413_2214106_021911GER
Also available somewhere on the fast planes of the Net.
A couple of Molski's are up. Someone pull and tell me if it was done correctly (I'm new to Torrent)
links and seeding
currently seeding aku 3.3 8mb page pool
also if anybody wants to pm me i will get back to them i have the links for the rom above and the wizard love rom on a very quick share server
8mb broadband and no leechers
RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G3
Indeed seems like also RUU_Molski.Biz_AKU2.3-226102_22610105_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G3
&
RUU_Molski.Biz_Faria_AKU3.2-3000_3000_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G3
Are working fine on the Bay.
It's also funny to see how the 8Mb faria version is one of the favourites.
Running it myself and loving it.
Also funny to see how these Roms get seeded better than Movies.
(in other words to stay seeded even without leeches, which means a better availability, Yes it my make your seed list bigger, but some torrent clients have filters)
If only we can figure a workaround to MS request for new roms. As it clear that any new release has to be provided by a Cook. And that means a Cook can always be traced to it's afiliation and responsibility of getting the Roms out there. On th other hand A Cook is not XDA-Devs. They just use the Forums to discuss their builds! I asume that since this post (up until now) has not been blocked by an Admin. It means they do not condone this endavour. But still some input of what would be wise to post and what not. Like setting up some forum rules like not anwsering questions to users about where to find the roms. Because let's face it anyone that does not know how to find downloadable content should not be messing with their phoner?
So i'm still waiting for the big shots really. In the mean time i'll just continue my epic search for The Lost Roms!
I have a htc wizard (T-mobile MDA) and I'm not sure which rom to use in the following. What is the difference between them?
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-8mb
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-6mb
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-4mb
Thanks for any help

It would be nice to have a dedicated thread, possibly a sticky with just the working Games on the Diamond as it does take a while to search. Im looking on here all the time so i notice when new threads are started or existing threads are updated but someone whos new to all this its prob a bit daunting.
Good luck, hope you find some great games for your funky new Diamond!
Thank you so much

Thanks but the part I want and says
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs
The link says it no longer avaliable as its out of date are there any others
Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys.
So far from what i read you'll need to dl the developers tools first. Heres a cyanogen wiki link to show what tools are needed
: //wiki.cyanogenmod. com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK[/url]
next theres an east starter app that you make to get you started on developing apps. from the android website: ://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html[/url]
so thats what im trying to do rigt now. ill update you guys and let you know how it goes
