This is arguably the best site ever made for this kind of preservation. And they shutdown because of insufficient funding and increased prices for hardware. They have full sets for NoIntro, Redump, TOSEC, MAME, RetroAchivements supported games, exo sets and lots of important coverage from good Internet Archive sources. All of this with direct downloads, no ads, super fast. Everything neatly organized and always available.
Either people start donating fast, or its gone. I recommend to download as fast as possible what you need. Its closing in about a month from now on March 31st, 2026.
Its already being uploaded and hosted elsewhere now. New site will be Minerva. So, while its sad, its not gone and will still continue on elsewhere.
Here is their matrix server https://chat.minerva-archive.org/
They are also taking anyone’s help that has storage and can help download anything that still hasn’t been downloaded yet. They have a backup tracker that you can check to see what still needs downloaded. They are also working on data for the checksums to ensure everything matches.
And here is their website if you wish to help and see updates.

Good to know. The question is, about the quality of the site (no ads, fast downloads, direct links) and so on.
It will be the exact same. Theyve already posted screenshots and it will be no different. It looks the exact same as well other than the name Minerva now. Looks like theyre preserving and mirroring Myrient as closely as possible.
They also have a Discord now, errrrm as well where you can track progress and talk to them. If Discord is your thing now lol
