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.

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?

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.

Hey it is just getting better.
Don't ask me exactly which rom this is maybe someone can enlighten me?

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
i remember when i used to have to google to find things for phones, and make all sorts of account for different sites, and then i found XDA and thats all i needed.
recently, for some reason- a good amount of stuff is turning into links to multiple other website- wouldn't it be easier if everything was hosted here again? so we could get expert help from the community and download files directly instead of logging into yet another site.
sorry if this seems like venting, but i just don't want to see XDA change
IIRC - XDA received a Cease and Desist order from Microsoft regarding hosting ROMs.
Vent away regardless - just aim it in the right direction.

I was always under the impression that small cabs and what not were acceptable, but that ROMs should be hosted off-site due to their size and the load it place on XDA servers. Never really read that anywhere, just kinda made that assumption, as ROMs have always been off-site as far back as I can remember.
Anyway, that's besides the point. I don't think he means ROMs, but a lot of the cabs, tweaks, programs, etc that are being hosted more and more off-site. Personally, I hate logging into other sites just to download something, and agree that it would be nicer if more were hosted here. That said, I hate the slow servers and waiting forever for a page to load. Let that **** happen somewhere else, I say.
OP, I hear what you're saying. The more is hosted here, the worse the server loads will be, the slower pages will load, the more likely you'll end up at another site looking for the answer. Personally, I'm grateful to guys that put up their own site just to have files readily available (TPC did this for a minute, not sure if he got his site back up). Unfortunately, disk space and bandwidth isn't unlimited, nor is it free!

That happened back in '07. You can find the original thread concerning that here, if you're interested.
sorry, i mispoke- i meant that ROMs used to be directly linked from here to free no username sites such as megaupload, rapidshare, and my favorite 4shared
nowayadays i have to log into other forums like htcpedia and go through their threads for links to uploads or download straight from that server- i love xda, and i don't want it to start filling up with links to other forums and eventually have to switch just to avoid all the hassle(i would never consider it by the way, this place rocks)
For the last 6 months I've been hosting files for developers in the Eris section. I made the site to people wouldn't have to use all that MultiUpload crap, got sick of the waiting 60 seconds to download a file, entering a verification code, etc etc.
Anyways, the site's worked well. You can direct link to your files, upload everything via a simple web interface.
I just thought I'd offer the site to developers in other forums now.
http://android.grdlock.net
Anyways, if you're interested in using it to host your files, just make a username on the site real quick, shoot me a PM, and I'll give it upload permissions.
And no, this isn't an advertisement or anything. People in the Eris section have just liked using the website over MultiUpload, so I thought I'd offer to let other people use my bandwidth as well.
GrdLock, you are the MAN! I was in the Eris section before, and appreciated having the hosting you set up for the developers. It made things so much easier. Thanks!!
Its nice to see you back GrdLock! Thanks for the hosting while I had my Eris, I used your site A LOT. Very simple and easy to navigate, Much appreciated!
Welcome back.
Now, Its time to get you to start deving on the X!
Great to see you pop up over here Grdlock! Your site, all the great devs and just the support community in general at the XDA Eris section will have anybody spoiled. Good to see familiar faces over here ,we got Lexus Brian AKA "Beesley™" in da house. Things are looking better and better over here in the Droid X section.
There is no freedom to talk in these forums, guess u people are making stuff resticted to those who just came here to flash roms.
No space for improvement i guess. Some narcissistic people are willing to make this forum like the symbian forum which is now closed forever.
When there is a question posted, wait for the reply before closing it atleast.
Some hopeless blind followers are not letring the critics do their work. I will keep on saying that google is forcing users to use their services.
If u wanna close my thread close it but dont expect that u can easily shut me up. I will share my thoughts to some place else.
Truth is always bitter.

There is freedom of speech if it is of use to the android platform..but why complain and make a fuss to people who have choosen android as there preferred format I'm sure there are different forums to rant if your not happy with your phone but this one is mostly used for useful information to benefit the note community and development..

If google is willing to make it better then they should implement things i am suggesting for tizen in their android.
Its plain and simple they are making basic functionality compromized even with such a great hardware due to poor piece of codes. My dialer pad opens slow, keyboard lags, wifi signal drops even a cheap nokia does these things in a flash. When i am suggesting how to improve people are making fun of me. Thats sad.
Constructive criticism should always be taken with open heart.
For a general user beside installing a seperate keyboard and launcher modify notification menu what else is there? Nothing this is simple customization.
Widgets are not androids stuff, old nokia started widget fashion so i would not credit android for that.

So what does google have to do with mods here closing your threads ??
Anyways, if you don't understand then ask the mod in question to explain.
Well, I would guess your threads are being closed because they don't fit the forum you are posting in. You are in a Q&A for the N7000, help and troubleshooting but your subject has nothing to do with the N7000, troubleshooting or help. Maybe post in the General Section:

Another defiant post again on the same thing, does not contribute to anything except flame baiting
There you go OP,
now please counter each point instead of being obscure.
Go PM the mod if you are unhappy.
P.S.
I'm requesting that your thread be closed.
Well first the flame burning post because, soon N4 users will feel cheated. Google is cheating them by giving them something which is just a mirage. U can see the issues in that forum about their phones ehich theyvare encountering just after 2 months.
N4 users posted such flame burning threads on our forums, they then started abusing and showing racism on someones views.
xda is not loyal to any one company, so if we feel that google is monopolizing at one front we have the right to say it.
There are many topics which i started and were closed and after a few days someone else posted the same things and are still active.
These topics are posted in general discussions with no intention to disturb the development on any front.
Lastly we have to admit that via these web services we are compromising our data on daily basis and making specific tech giants more powerful and their data servers artificially intelligent day by day. I dont want them to sell us our data in future.
A clear example is youtube. Our data made comercially available to us. Sorry if u will just want to blow their trumpet and make us go in the ditch.
Today another user posted the same thing in N4 forum which i said 2 days ago and my topic was closed.
Another user on N4 shared the same opinion that we are forced to use google services, being android users.
In all the topics i posted just tell me where i was wrong.

qazibasit, I was not aware of your other closed threads. I did not close them. You were PM'd by the Senior Moderator who closed. So hopefully that answers the question you pose by creating this thread, which is also pointless.
I fail to see the "point" of the thread I closed. Your thread was just a complaint. XDA is slowly filling up with "complaints" of all manners. XDA is and always will be focused on development, not just of Android, but all platforms that enable us to better our devices.
What in your thread I closed, allows us (the XDA community) to improve Android? Why post them here? Why not submit them to the AOSP I provided you with a link for? If you are not prepared to attempt to fix the "problem" you have no foundation to make any complaint about it.
Google do not charge you to use their services or features, nor do they make you use them. You decided to buy an Android handset. If your unhappy about that, then that is your decision. When you buy a new handset, buy iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry, there is choice, you just made the wrong one.
If anyone has an issue with the standard of moderation from any moderator please contact the Moderator Committee (in confidence) with your concerns.
Lastly before the "Freedom of Speech" card is played. XDA is not a democracy, nor do you have any right of freedom of speech here. You all agreed to the rules XDA expects all users to follow. You should also read this. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ilaw/Speech/
Sad to say it, but Thread Closed.
Before a forum mod even thinks of taking this down- I've been in contract with Svetius and this may go live across XDA.
I would like to beta test here- and give developers and others a good example of what we can accomplish- as a collective.
I'll simplify for anyone who wants to jump in- click one of the following links, and if you don't get it, read on:
This is a link to the view only version, with ability to comment..
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api
Here is the developers/contributor linkhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IF YOUR NOT ACTIVELY DEVELOPING OR CONTRIBUTING- I DO HAVE WAYS TO REMOVE PEOPLE IF THEY TAKE AWAY FROM PROJECT!
If someone else wants to create a new document, please include a link to this instruction document I've already created.
If no one else jumps on creating a development document for unified s5, I will create and post the edit and view/comment links in second post, or add your document if you choose too
I will update and add to this post this morning- please allow me to get second post
As of this moment, developers, recognized contributors, or users are disconnected- and you may not have the time to go hunting each other down, or answer 500 PMS.
This is my effort to connect developers- it is a LIVE document, and it uses your Google account to grant the level of access you need. Because it is a live document, you will see AS other people type. I can give non-devs the ability to view and comment only- but in that way, even they may be able to contribute.
There's a built in chat box.
It automatically tracks who makes changes so no credit has to be given for your work, or you can create a document you own and paste the link in my document. This is how we create a "tree" of organized data..
Links do NOT BREAK.. So even of you move the document in your personal folders, any link you put into my or any other document will work. Period. I've tested this over 4-5 years, and I'm sure of this.
The same way it tracks changes, you can revert to old versions.. So if someone accidentally selected all and hit backspace, by accident or as a jerk, in a few clicks I can put it all back.
I've been taking to mods and development teams here at XDA, and we are going to be doing this XDA wide, or at least that's how it is looking - this reduces devs duplicating work, because it is Google document, it requires no sign up, it's probably on all your devices or easy to download..
Of we start sharing and get or section done, it will give a good example at how all other subgroups can do there's.

Click the edit link and go to the bottom where I put examples where I see this going.. You can comment (it explains how in the Google doc) if you don't want to change the doc itself.. So make suggestions, or even help me message a link to this thread to developers.. Because as I said, I've already been getting a pretty positive response from the top mod and his development team..
If we can show them this works and well, it will only help them see maybe this can be a priority.
I'm going to connect them with some backbend tools Google put out to integrate this into the site- so I need our XDA community collective to do/offer whatever they can to get or beta test product into something useful.
As a bonus, as easy as it is to link to docs, and link back to XDA.. We can reduce the number of duplicate questions, need for q&a threads, and the number of messages that developers get!
Even me, a recognized contributor- the more active I am, the more PMs I get..
So come on XDA collective- help me make this work!

BUMP.
I edited original post- if you're a Dev click the second link, if you want to contribute in some way, click the appropriate link.
You literally click the link, on just about any device, especially anything android or a computer- and you're in, and able to contribute. No sign up. No wasted time.
This is EASY as it gets, but I can't make anyone do this.. This is about us collaborating and helping each other, unifying developers in one place - and REDUCING WORK.. Because I'm seeing a lot of developers doing the same thing, and it is called work duplication.. And time that need not be wasted if you all work together.
On top of that, if I and other contributors, official or not, can be part of the process.. Well, think of it as processing power.
Please give it a try, and let's build a team.
for developers and contributors in the unified s5 forum - please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2997834
